The 1933 Victorian local elections were held on 24 August 1933 to elect the councils of 70 of the local government areas in Victoria, Australia. One council also held a referendum.[1]

The Age observed that there were an "unusually large" amount of candidates elected unopposed − 77 in the metropolitan Melbourne area and a further 450 in regional Victoria.[1]

Until the 1994 reforms introduced by the Kennett state government, all local elections were staggered, with not all councillors up for election each year.[2]
