2024 Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council election

The 2024 Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2024 alongside the West Yorkshire mayoral election and other local elections across the United Kingdom.

Prior to the local elections, four Labour councillors resigned from the party in protest of the party's direction and policy regarding the war in Gaza. The four members subsequently formed the Kirklees Community Independents Group, which had no seats up for election this year. With this exception, the pre-election council makeup had otherwise remained unchanged from the 2023 election.

Labour lost control of the council to no overall control. Following the election, the leader of the council, Cathy Scott, was replaced as Labour group leader by Carole Pattison. However, Cathy Scott managed to retain her position as leader of the council, leaving Labour along with four others to sit as a group of independents calling themselves the Community Alliance.
