Elections to Salford Borough Council were held on Tuesday, 1 November 1921. One third of the councillors seats were up for election, with each successful candidate to serve a three-year term of office. Extensive ward boundary changes came into effect at this election, however, the number of councillors was retained and displaced members were allocated to newly created wards for the remainder of their terms.

The council remained under no overall control.[1][2]
