Elections to Manchester Town Council were held on Monday, 1 November 1841. One third of the councillors seats were up for election, with each successful candidate to serve a three-year term of office. The Conservative Party continued their boycott of municipal elections due to their opposition to Manchester's incorporation^[1] and only one of the fifteen wards was contested.^[2] The Liberal Party retained overall control of the council.
