2017 Cambridgeshire County Council election

The 2017 Cambridgeshire County Council election was held on 4 May 2017 as part of the 2017 local elections in the United Kingdom. All 61 councillors were elected from 59 electoral divisions, which returned either one or two county councillors each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office.

Boundary changes to the electoral divisions took effect at this election after a review of the county by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, reducing the number of county councillors from 69 to 61, and the number of electoral divisions from 60 to 59.

The election took place on the same day as the first direct mayoral election for the newly created Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.

The Conservative Party won a majority on the council, while the UK Independence Party lost all their seats.
