Banff and Buchan was a local government district in the Grampian Region, created in 1975, under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. It combined, from the former county of Banff, a "Banff area" including the burghs of Banff), Aberchirder, Macduff and Portsoy, and the landward districts of Aberchirder and Fordyce, and, from the former county of Aberdeen, the burghs of Fraserburgh, Peterhead, Rosehearty and the landward districts of Turriff, and Cruden and Deer Turriff. (The rest of the county of Banff became part of the Moray District of Grampian Region.)

In 1996, the Banff and Buchan district was merged into the Aberdeenshire unitary council area, under the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994.
