Map of the results of the 2015 Manchester council election, with Labour in red.

Elections to Manchester City Council were held on 7 May 2015, along with the United Kingdom general election, 2015. One third of the council was up for election, with each successful candidate serving a four-year term of office, expiring in 2019.
