The Regional Council of Alsace was the regional council of the French region of Alsace from 1982 to 2015. As a result of reforms, the administrative region of Alsace merged with two other regions to form Grand Est, effective 1 January 2016, at which point the regional councils of Alsace, Lorraine, and Champagne-Ardenne were superseded by the Regional Council of Grand Est.^{[1] [2]}
