The Ayodhya Municipal Corporation, also called Ayodhya Nagar Nigam, is the governing civic body of the cities of Ayodhya and Faizabad in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Local self-government for Ayodhya and Faizabad was introduced in 1865. The two cities were administered jointly as a municipality.[1] The joint municipality was split on 7 January 1978 into Ayodhya Municipal Corporation and Faizabad Municipal Corporation.[4] The Government of Uttar Pradesh made an order in May 2017, merging the two municipal corporations as Ayodhya Municipal Corporation.[4] The governance framework, jurisdiction and function of municipal corporations in Uttar Pradesh (UP) are governed by the UP Municipalities Act 1916, and the UP Municipal Corporations Act 1959.[5] The election for the governing body is conducted by the State Election Commission, which has its office in Faizabad.[5]
