The 1953 Urban Council election was held on 20 May 1953 for the 4 elected seats of the Urban Council of Hong Kong.

The elected seats extended from 2 seats to 4 seats in this election, which increased the total numbers of member from 13 to 15. For the first time the polling station was set in the Kowloon peninsula, at the Kowloon-Canton Railway Station in Tsim Sha Tsui, besides the one in Hong Kong Island. Despite that, only 2,536 of about 8,000 eligible voters, about twenty percent of the electorate, cast ballots, less than last year.

All candidates from the Reform Club, including Brook Bernacchi and Woo Pak-chuen were elected, while incumbent William Louey lost the re-election.
