The 2017 Porto local election was held on 1 October 2017 to elect the members of the Porto City Council.
Rui Moreira, mayor since 2013, won a second term as Mayor of Porto, winning a majority in the city council. He beat the Socialist candidate, once again Manuel Pizarro, who managed to increase his voting share and to gain 1 councillor.
The Social Democratic Party, in coalition with the People's Monarchist Party, had a terrible result, losing more than half of the votes from 2013 and electing one single councillor. The Communist Party, with Ilda Figueiredo as its candidate, managed to keep its seat in the City Council, despite a slight loss in the vote share. Meanwhile, the Left Bloc, with João Teixeira Lopes as its candidate after João Semedo withrew his candidacy for health reasons, failed once again to gain any seat in the city council.
