Howick Local Board is one of the 21 local boards of the Auckland Council, and is overseen by the council's Howick Ward councillors.

The board's administrative area includes the suburbs Pakuranga, Howick, Flat Bush, and East Tāmaki, and covers much of East Auckland.

The board was initially governed by nine board members, with three elected from each of the boards three sub-divisions: Pakuranga, Howick and Botany. The inaugural members were elected in the nationwide 2010 local elections, coinciding with the introduction of the Auckland Council.

In 2025, the number of board members increased to eleven with the introduction of a new subdivision for Flat Bush.
