A Laois County Council election will be held in County Laois in Ireland on 24 May 2019 as part of that year's local elections. All 19 councillors will be elected for a five-year term of office from 3 local electoral areas (LEAs) by single transferable vote. The 2018 LEA boundary review committee kept the LEAs used in the 2014 elections. To take account of population shifts revealed by the 2016 census, the electoral division of Clash mas moved to Borris-in-Ossory—Mountmellick LEA from Portlaoise LEA.
