The 2014 Lambeth Council election was held on 22 May 2014 to elect members of Lambeth Council in Greater London, England. This was on the same day as other local elections. The election saw the Labour Party further increase its majority on the council, winning all but four of the 63 council seats.

Notably, the Liberal Democrats lost all 15 of their seats, but one of their seats in Bishop's ward was lost by under 35 votes.

The Liberal Democrats finished as the runners up in 4 wards, the Conservatives in 8, the Greens in 6, Labour in 2 and UKIP in 1.

During the 2016 EU referendum Lambeth voted 78% to remain in the EU & 22% to leave. Two of the three Labour MPs backed Remain, Chuka Umunna and Helen Hayes, whereas Vauxhall MP Kate Hoey backed Leave.

Of the 63 councillors on Lambeth Council, just one supported Brexit. Lambeth achieved one of the highest remain votes in the United Kingdom. On 1 February 2017, Helen Hayes voted against Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, which would allow the UK to formally leave the EU, while Chuka Umunna & Kate Hoey both voted for Withdrawal from the European Union.
