The 2021 Perth City Council election was held on 16 October 2021 to elect four councillors to the City of Perth. The election was held as part of the statewide local elections in Western Australia. [1]

No election for lord mayor was held, as the term of incumbent Basil Zempilas did not expire until 2023. Four other councillors were also not up for election. [2]

This was the final Perth City Council election to use first-past-the-post. [3]
