An election to the Aberdeen Corporation was held on 5 May 1953, alongside municipal elections across Scotland.

12 of the corporation's 37 seats were up for election, although only 9 were contested.

Only minor changes occurred compared to the previous year, with the overall composition of the council staying the same.

The Scottish Self-Government Party contested four seats this election, and the Communist Party contested one.

The Dean of Guild continued to affiliate with the Progressives.
