The 1901 Glamorgan County Council election was the fifth contest for seats on this authority in south Wales. It was preceded by the 1898 election and followed by the 1904 election. Glamorgan was by far the largest county in Wales in terms of population. Glamorgan County Council had been established by the Local Government Act 1888, the first elections being held in early 1889.

Overview of the result
As in most parts of Wales, the Liberal Party was once again triumphant and won a majority of the seats. In 1901 the majority of the seats were uncontested, in contrast to the position at previous elections.{{cite news|title=Glamorgan County Council.

Election of aldermen
In addition to the 66 councillors the council consisted of 22 county aldermen. Aldermen were elected by the council, and served a six-year term. Following the 1901 election, there were eleven Aldermanic vacancies.
The following aldermen were appointed by the newly elected council.{{cite news|title=Glamorgan County Council. Annual Meeting at Pontypridd.|url=http://welshnewspapers.llgc.org.uk/en/page/view/3374701/ART160|accessdate=1 May 2014|newspaper=Weekly Mail|date=16 March 1901}} A notable feature was the non-election of Sir John Llewelyn, an alderman since 1889.
