Kulai Municipal Council (, MPKU) is the local authority of Kulai District in Johor, Malaysia since 21 April 2004. It was formerly known as Kulai District Council (, MDKu) from 1 January 1976 until 20 April 2004. Over the years, its administrative area increases from 123 km2 to 747 km2.

The council covers nine towns in Kulai District, namely: Kulai, Saleng, Senai, Seelong, Sengkang, Sedenak, Kelapa Sawit, Ayer Bemban and Bukit Batu. These towns had their own local councils prior to merger and formation of the then-District Council.

MPKU's headquarters has been located at the Kulai District government complex in Taman Kulai since the establishment of the Kulai District Council, with the old building fronting the new office building at the entrance of the headquarters' premises.

Emblem history

When Kulai District Council was established on 1 January 1976, its emblem consisted of two mousedeers supporting a shield depicting a star and crescent at the bottom to symbolise Islamic faith and nine stars on top to symbolise the nine towns that united under the local government. At the bottom of shield is a scroll bearing the District Council's name in Jawi Malay with two palm fronds. The name of the District Council in Romanised Malay was written at the top of the shield.

After the upgradation of Kulai District Council as the Kulai Municipal Council on 21 April 2004, the local government's emblem consisted of a blue semicircle at the top and nine red stairs at the bottom in v-shaped formation on a blue shield surrounded by two palm fronds. At the top half are a Rub el Hizb that symbolise Islamic Faith and a book to symbolise knowledge, while at the bottom half is a white aircraft that symbolise the Senai Airport. The nine red stairs symbolise the nine towns under the Municipal Council that are developed by stages. The emblem also featured the motto of the Municipal Council – Cemerlang, Sejahtera (Excellent, Peaceful) in Romanised Malay on a blue scroll, topped by a yellow star and crescent and the name of the Municipal Council written in both Jawi and Romanised Malay script on a yellow scroll at the bottom.

An emblem with a completely new design was adopted in conjunction with Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar's Birthday on 22 November 2018. It consists of a blue shield charged with the flag of Kulai District at the top defaced by the name of the Municipal Council in Jawi Malay script. At the bottom, there are a ten teeth gear to symbolise industrial development, an aircraft to represent Senai Airport, the Mount Pulai representation as well as electronic circuit board to symbolise the ICT Industry and the number 2004 – the year of Kulai Municipal Council's establishment. The shield is supported by two Johor State arms tigers on both sides and topped by the Johor Royal Crown. At the bottom of the shield is a blue scroll with the name of the Municipal Council in Romanised Malay script.
