Governorate council elections were held in Iraq on 30 January 2005, the same day as the elections for the transitional Iraqi National Assembly. Each province has a 41-member council, except for Baghdad, whose council has 51 members.

A summary of the results by governorate was:

The council elected Maamoon Sami Rasheed al-Alwani as governor.

The council elected Salem al-Saleh Meslmawe as the governor.

The council elected SCIRI member, Hussain al-Tahan as governor.
