The 2026 Oxford City Council election will be held on 7 May 2026, alongside the other local elections across the United Kingdom being held on the same day, to elect 24 of 48 members of Oxford City Council in Oxfordshire, England.

Due to ongoing local government reorganisation, this will be the final election to Oxford City Council before it is abolished and replaced by a successor unitary authority. Elections to the successor authority are due to take place in 2027.
