议会-经理制政府是两种在美国代议政制地方政府的组成方式之一，相对于市长-议会制政府。在美国大部份人数多于1万2000人的城市都使用这个方式来组成它们的政府。

在这个制度里，市政府的政策、修立法、拨款、和监督政府运作等的权力由一个通常由5至11位民选议员们组成的市议会运行。市长在这个制度里的功能通常仅有象征性质、如对外代表该城市，或仅是市议会的一员、通常也担任市议会议长。市政府平日运作和运行市法规的权力则由市议会任命一位市经理(City Manager)或同等职位负责。市经理对市议会负责，而且通常市经理的权责在任命契约里都有逐项列出。理想的市经理最好是能干又不属于任何党派，但是实务上则很困难找到这样的市经理。

The council–manager government form is one of two predominant forms of local government in the United States; the other common form of local government is the mayor–council government form, which characteristically occurs in large cities. Council–manager government form also is used in county governments in the United States and the governing body in a county may be called a council, a commission, freeholders, aldermen, and such. The council–manager form also is used for municipal government in Canada and in Ireland, among many other countries, both for city councils and county councils.
