1962 Sheffield City Council election

Sheffield's 1962 Municipal elections were held on 10 May 1962. One-third of the council and vacancies in Moor and Park were up for election. Previous to this election, there had been two by-elections in June for Hallam and Woodseats, which the Conservatives safely held. The election saw a record number of 84 candidates, with the Liberals contesting half of the city's wards and the Communists and the Union Movement over a third. The increased presence of the Liberals helped them to triple their vote on the previous year's, and nearly see to a gain in Hillsborough. There were, however, no seats exchanged for the second year running. Turnout was 31.8%, down slightly on the previous year.
