Wyre is a local government district with borough status in Lancashire, England. Its council is based in Poulton-le-Fylde. Major towns include Garstang and Fleetwood.

The district is named after the River Wyre, which runs through the district. It was formed on April 1, 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972, and was a merger of the municipal borough of Fleetwood, along with Poulton-le-Fylde, Preesall and Thornton-Cleveleys urban districts and Garstang Rural District.

Wyre is currently divided into three Parliamentary Constituencies - Lancaster and Wyre, Blackpool North and Fleetwood and Fylde. Following forthcoming boundary changes, Wyre will be split into just two - Wyre and Preston North and Lancaster and Fleetwood.
