An election to the Aberdeen Corporation was held on 3 May 1955, alongside municipal elections across Scotland. 12 of the corporation's 37 seats were up for election, although only 8 were contested.
This election maintained the status quo of the last few years, with no seats changing hands and a further decrease in turnout resulting in another record low.[1] The day before the election, David Sinclair Hay, councilor for Torry, resigned from the Labour Party and declared he would be sitting the rest of his term as an Independent.[2]
