Council elections for the Norwich City Council were held on 22 May 2014 as part of the 2014 United Kingdom local elections. The elections have been moved from earlier on in May to coincide with the East of England 2014 European Parliament election.
One third of the council's 39 seats are scheduled to be up for election in 2014, plus an extra seat in University ward, meaning a total of 14 seats in 13 wards. The other 25 seats are not being contested this year.
