Orpington's 1962 municipal elections were held on 10 May 1962. One third of the council was up for election. The elections took place just under two months after the Liberals had won the 1962 Orpington by-election.[1]
The Liberal share of the vote matched that achieved in the Orpington by-election two months earlier. The result had the following consequences for the total number of seats on the council after the elections:
