Birmingham City Council District Eight (District 8) is a legislative district of the City of Birmingham from which one representative on the Birmingham City Council and one member of the Birmingham Board of Education are elected. The city was divided into nine districts to preserve minority (white) representation following a court order issued in "Yarbrough et al v. City of Birmingham)" (1989). Prior to then councilors were elected at-large. The district is currently represented by Councilor Steven Hoyt.
District Eight covers densely populated neighborhoods in western Birmingham, including most of Ensley. The district's borders were modified in 2013, adding a strip of the Central Park neighborhood along Bessemer Road from District 7.
