The 2019 Leeds City Council election took place on Thursday 2 May 2019 to elect members of Leeds City Council in England. ^[1] It was held on the same day as other UK local elections across England and Northern Ireland.

As per the election cycle, one third of the council's 99 seats were up for election. This followed the re-election of all of the 99 council seats in the 2018 all-out council election. It had resulted from an electoral ward boundary review and saw the election of three councillors for each of the 33 electoral wards and their new ward boundaries. The third-placed candidate elected in every ward was granted a single year term and their seats are up for election this year.

Elected councillors were granted the usual four-year term until 2023 in order to return to the typical election cycle of elections in three of every four years. ^{[2] [3]}

The Labour Party maintained their majority control of the council despite losing four seats, also retaining their one Calverley and Farsley councillor by 27 votes.
