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. 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.
