The sixth election to Western Isles Islands Council was held on 5 May 1994 as part of the wider 1994 Scottish regional elections. One ward - Laxdale - was unfilled, as no individuals came forward as candidates.
The election saw a political party gain representation on the Council for the first time as the Labour Party won four seats.
