The 2026 Huntingdonshire District Council election was held on 7 May 2026, alongside the other local elections across the United Kingdom being held on the same day, to elect all 52 members of Huntingdonshire District Council in England. ^[1]

Due to ongoing local government reorganisation, this will be the final election to Huntingdonshire District Council before it is abolished and replaced by a successor unitary authority. Elections to the successor authority are due to take place in 2027.
