Southampton City Council election, 2014

The 2014 Southampton City Council election took place on Thursday 22 May 2014 to elect members of Southampton City Council in Hampshire, England. One third of the council (16 seats) was up for election, and an additional vacancy in Millbrook ward caused by the resignation of a sitting councillor, was also filled, meaning a total of 17 of the city’s 48 seats were elected. The elections took place on the same day as the elections to the European Parliament.

Southampton Council is elected in thirds, which means the all comparisons are to the corresponding Southampton City Council election, 2010. In Millbrook, the candidate with the most votes was elected for a full term lasting until 2018. The candidate who came second was elected for the remainder of the resigned councillor's term, ending in 2016.

After the election, the composition of the council was

• Labour 28
• Conservative 18
• Councillors Against Cuts 2
