The 2021 Porto local election was held on 26 September 2021 to elect the members of the Porto City Council.

As expected, Rui Moreira, mayor since 2013, won a third term as Mayor of Porto, despite losing his majority in the city council. He beat the Socialist candidate, Tiago Barbosa Ribeiro, who lost about 10% of the votes and 1 city councillor, and the Social Democratic candidate, Vladimiro Feliz, who despite an increase in his vote share failed to achieve the goal of surpassing the PS.

The Unitary Democratic Coalition presented Ilda Figueiredo again and achieved positive results, registering a slight electoral growth to 7.5 percent. The Left Bloc, which presented Sérgio Aires as a candidate for mayor, gained a seat in the City Council, for the first time in its history.

People-Animals-Nature and CHEGA failed to elect any councilor.
