The 1894 United Kingdom local elections took place in late 1894.
Party politics in local municipal government was undeveloped at this point, with many candidates making no reference to their party affiliations, and instead running on local or personal platforms.
The election did however see increasing numbers of both Independent Labour, and also Socialist, candidates.
In most instance these candidates appeared to win votes at the expense of Liberals, allowing Conservative candidates to capture Liberal seats.
Prominent examples of this took place in Northampton, Salford, and Portsmouth.
