The third election to the Llandeilo Rural District Council was held in March 1901.^[1] It was preceded by the 1898 election and followed by the 1904 election. The successful candidates were also elected to the Llandeilo Board of Guardians.

There were a number of unopposed returns in the rural parishes.^[2] In the industrial areas where the population was rapidly growing due to the anthracite coal industry most wards were contested.^[3]

Boundary changes

Following the growth of the population in the parishes of Betws and Llandybie, boundaries were re-arranged and additional seats created. A notable casualty of this change was Henry Herbert, Chair of the Llandeilo Board of Guardians, who was defeated in the Llandybie Ward by two other sitting members.
