The 2005 Minneapolis City Council elections were held on November 8, 2005 to elect the 13 members of the Minneapolis City Council for four-year terms.
The election saw the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) make a net gain of two seats, giving them a 12-to-1 majority in the Council. Both incumbent Green Party of Minnesota members lost their seats, though the party secured a pickup in Ward 2 with Cam Gordon narrowly winning against the DFL-endorsed candidate. The only independent on the Council lost their seat.[1]
