The 1994 Colchester Borough Council election took place on 5 May 1994 to elect members to Colchester Borough Council in Essex, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across the United Kingdom.
The Liberal Democrats gained control of the council from no overall control, becoming the first party other than the Conservatives to control the council since its creation in 1973. Labour also made gains in the popular vote despite losing seats and the Conservatives suffered their worst result in council history up to this point.
