A Roscommon County Council election was held in County Roscommon in Ireland on 24 May 2019 as part of that year's local elections. All 18 councillors were elected for a five-year term of office from 3 local electoral areas (LEAs) by single transferable vote. Only three political parties (Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin) fielded candidates in Roscommon, the fewest of any Irish county/city in the 2019 local elections. The 2018 LEA boundary review committee made no changes to the LEAs used in the 2014 elections.[1]
