Welsh local election
The third election to the Carmarthen Rural District Council was held in March 1901. It was preceded by the 1898 election and followed by the 1904 election. The successful candidates were also elected to the Carmarthen Board of Guardians.
There were a number of unopposed returns in the rural parishes. All the contests were non-political.
