Logan City Council is a Local Government Area in South East Queensland, Australia. The city borders the City of Brisbane to the north and Gold Coast to the south. In terms of population, Logan City is the third largest city in Queensland. The city also borders the Scenic Rim and Redland City.

Logan was honoured in the names of many locales in the district, such as the Logan River, the suburbs of Loganlea, Logan Village, Loganholme, Logan Reserve and Logan Central, the Logan Motorway and Logan Road, which connects Logan City with the nearby state capital of Brisbane.

Logan City has recently been under development for new bistro areas across the region. Cinemas, shopping complexes and parks are prevalent. Logan City has one public art gallery. The internationally successful Australian band Savage Garden, who sold 25 million albums, are from Logan.
