The Scottish local elections, 1999 were held on 6 May 1999, the same day as First Scottish Parliament elections. It was the second election for all 32 Scottish councils and the first after a major review into all wards.

A Major review of all boundaries took place before the 1999 elections as part of the third comprehensive review by the independent Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland which resulted in an overall reduction of wards to 1222 instead of 1245 and many wards were restructured.
