This article is about the composition of the Regional Council of Veneto, the legislative assembly of Veneto, during the X Legislature, thus the term started in June 2015, following the 2015 regional election, and to be concluded in June 2020. Of the 51 members, 49 were elected in provincial constituencies by proportional representation using the largest remainder method with a Droop quota and open lists, while the remaining two were the elected President and the candidate for President who came second. The winning coalition won a bonus of seats in order to make sure the elected President had a majority in the Council.[1][2][3]

The President of the Council has been Roberto Ciambetti (Liga VenetaLega Nord) since June 2015, while Luca Zaia (Liga Veneta–Lega Nord) has been President of Veneto at the head of his second government.
