Elections to the Moray Council were held on 6 May 1999, the same day as the other Scottish local government elections and the Scottish Parliament general election. The number of seats on the council grew from 18 in 1995 to 26. Each ward elected a single member using the first-past-the-post voting system.
The 1995 election to the Moray Council saw the SNP take 13 seats, and therefore the SNP were able to form a majority administration as the council only had 18 seats at that time.
