Elections to Liverpool City Council were held on 10 May 1962.
Aldermanic elections took place at the City Council meeting on 24 May 1962, and as some councillors were elected as Aldermen there were by-elections for the vacated seats on Thursday 29 June 1962.
After the election, the composition of the council was:
Party | Councillors | ± | Aldermen | Total | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
55 | -8 | 26 | 81 | ||
59 | +8 | 14 | 73 | ||

2 | +2 | 0 | 2 | ||
(PARTY) - Party of former Councillor
The Councillors seeking re-election at this election were elected in 1959 for a three-year term, therefore comparisons are made with the 1959 election results.
