The 2026 South Australian local elections will be held in November 2026 to elect the councils and mayors of 67 of the 68 local government areas (LGAs) in South Australia.[2] The elections will be conducted by the Electoral Commission of South Australia (ECSA).[2]

No election will be held in Roxby as it is served by an administrator who performs the functions of a council.[3] An election for Coober Pedy is expected to be held for the first time since 2018, after the council was suspended in January 2019 and did not have an election in 2022.[4][5]
