The 1996 Derby City Council election took place on 2 May 1996 to elect members of Derby City Council in England. Local elections were held in the United Kingdom in 1996.[3] This was on the same day as other local elections. This election was held ahead of Derby City Council becoming a unitary authority on 1 April 1997. As a result, the entire council was up for election and the elected councillors acted as a shadow authority until that date. The Labour Party retained control of the council.
