Craven District Council in North Yorkshire, England was established in 1974 and abolished in 2023.

After the last boundary changes in 2002, 30 councillors were elected from 19 wards.[1]

The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority alongside the outgoing authorities until it came into its powers on 1 April 1974. Political control from 1974 until its abolition in 2023 was as follows:[2][3]
