The Martha's Vineyard Commission is a regional planning agency of Dukes County, which is make up of the six towns of Martha's Vineyard -- Aquinnah, Chilmark, Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, Tisbury and West Tisbury -- as well as the town of Gosnold on the Elizabeth Islands.

The Commission was created in 1974 by an act of the Massachusetts Legislature in response to what legislators viewed as a threat of the unchecked development on Martha's Vineyard. The Legislature adopted the Martha's Vineyard Commission Act, which created a system of regional planning and regulation, in order to protect the unique "natural, historical, ecological, scientific, [and] cultural" qualities of the Vineyard.

Primary authority under the Act is vested in the Martha's Vineyard Commission whose mission is to help carefully manage growth so the Vineyard's unique environment,social fabric and sustainable economy are maintained as development takes place.
