Elections to City of Glasgow District Council were held on 7 May 1974, on the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. This was the first election to the district council following the implementation of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973.
The election used the 72 wards created by the Formation Electoral Arrangements in 1974. Each ward elected one councillor using first-past-the-post voting.
Labour took control of the council after winning a majority. The party took 55 of the 72 seats and almost half of the popular vote. The Conservatives were the second-largest party and won the remaining 17 seats.
