The November 1886 Calgary municipal election was held on November 3, 1886 to elect a Mayor and four Councillors to sit on the third Calgary Town Council from November 4, 1886 to January 16, 1888.

The second Council was terminated by a special Territorial Ordinance effective October 21, 1886 following an order by local Stipendiary Magistrate Jeremiah Travis. Travis contended George Murdoch had tampered with the voters' list and a new council was appointed which failed to garner public support.
