An election to the Aberdeen Corporation was held on 1 May 1951, alongside municipal elections across Scotland. 14 of the corporation's 37 seats were up for election.
The election saw the Progressives make a one-seat gain on Labour, increasing their majority to 3. This election was the first that the Scottish National Party ran a candidate in Aberdeen local elections, doing so in the Woodside ward where the candidate placed last.[1][2]
