- Source: 1949 Cardiganshire County Council election
The eighteenth election to Cardiganshire County Council took place in April 1949. It was preceded by the 1946 election and followed by the 1952 election.
Candidates
35 candidates were returned unopposed resulting in fifteen contests which was eight less than in 1946 but consistent with most of the inter-war period.
Eight aldermen retired, of whom four sought election.
Outcome
There was very little change as the new council was composed entirely of Independents, apart from the sole Labour councillor who was re-elected unopposed at Aberystwyth. Four other Labour candidates were defeated.
