1996 Derby City Council election

The 1996 Derby City Council election took place on 2 May 1996 to elect members of Derby City Council in England. Local elections were held in the United Kingdom in 1996. This was on the same day as other local elections. This election was held ahead of Derby City Council becoming a unitary authority on 1 April 1997. As a result, the entire council was up for election and the elected councillors acted as a shadow authority until that date. The Labour Party retained control of the council.
