Map of the results of the 2015 Manchester council election, with Labour in red.

Elections to Manchester City Council were held on 7 May 2015, along with the 2015 United Kingdom general election. One third of the council was up for election, with each successful candidate serving a three-year term of office, expiring in 2018, due to planned boundary changes. The Labour Party retained overall control of the council, managing to hold every seat contested.
