The third election to the Carmarthen Rural District Council was held in March 1901. It was preceded by the 1898 election and followed by the 1904 election. The successful candidates were also elected to the Carmarthen Board of Guardians.

There were a number of unopposed returns in the rural parishes.[1] In the industrial areas where the population was rapidly growing due to the anthracite coal industry most wards were contested.[2]
