An election to the Aberdeen Corporation was held on 3 May 1949, alongside municipal elections across Scotland. 12 of the corporation's 37 seats were up for election. The election saw Labour retain their control over the corporation, although tenuously. Leading up to the election, Labour councillor Robert S. Lennox had the whip withdrawn, and was sitting as an independent. Despite this, Lennox still voted with Labour, allowing the party to keep control. The overall turnout for the election was 46
