text: # 2016 Hull City Council election
  
  The 2016 Hull City Council election took place on 5 May 2016 to elect members of Hull City Council in England. This was on the same day as other nationwide local elections. One third of the council was up for election with Labour defending overall control of the council. The Green Party did not field any candidates after the local party failed to submit nomination papers in time.
  
  This result had the following consequences for the total number of seats on the Council after the elections:
  
  | Party | Party | Previous council | New council | +/- |
  | - | - | - | - | - |
  | | Labour | 40 | 39 | –1 |
  | | Liberal Democrats | 15 | 17 | +2 |
  | | Conservatives | 2 | 2 | |
  | | UKIP | 1 | 1 | |
