2024 Leeds City Council election

The 2024 Leeds City Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 2024. It was held on the same day as the second West Yorkshire mayoral election and other local elections across the United Kingdom.

The Labour Party maintained control of the council, with their seat count holding steady. For the third year in a row, the Conservative Party lost three seats, all to Labour; the party would additionally lose a seat in Pudsey two days after the election when Trish Smith, re-elected the previous year, resigned to sit as an independent. The Green Party also succeeded in taking three seats from Labour and saw the largest popular vote share increase out of any of the parties, though Labour in turn unseated Green group leader David Blackburn, preventing the Greens from equalling the Liberal Democrats as the third-largest group on the council, though the Greens subsequently won a seat back in a byelection in the same ward and Blackburn returned to the council. The Social Democratic Party took the third seat in Middleton Park, wiping out the Labour Party's representation in the ward, and all other parties held level in their seat count.
