The 1991 Ogwr Borough Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 1991 to Ogwr Borough Council, a district council in Mid Glamorgan, Wales. It took place on the same day as other council elections in Wales and England. These were to be the last elections before re-organization of local government in Wales and dissolution of the council.

The previous full election took place in 1987.

Overview

These were the last elections to Ogwr Borough Council before local government reorganisation, which would see new unitary local authorities created in Wales from 1 April 1996. Elections to the new Bridgend County Borough Council would take place in May 1995.

Results for only fifteen of the twenty nine electoral wards were confirmed overnight, with the remainder of the wards having their results announced on the Friday. Leader of the Conservatives on the council, David Unwin, was one of the first to retain his seat, coming top of the poll in Coity Higher.

49 council seats were up for election, a similar number to the previous election in 1987.
