The first election to Gwynedd County Council (at the time known as Caernarfonshire and Merionethshire County Council) was held on 4 May 1995. It was followed by the 1999 election. Results are drawn from the national press.
The previous Gwynedd Council had an Independent majority from 1973 until 1993 and was under no overall control thereafter. However, Plaid Cymru secured control of the new authority.
