Mole Valley is a local government district in Surrey, England. Its council is based in Dorking. The other major town in the district is Leatherhead.
The district, named after the River Mole, was formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, by a merge of the urban districts of Dorking and Leatherhead, along with most of Dorking and Horley Rural District.

Mole Valley District Council is usually elected by thirds: That is, approximately one-third of the members are re-elected at each election, each serving four year terms, with one year out of every four not having Council elections.
The Council was, however, re-elected whole in 2000 after wholesale boundary changes to the Wards.
