Police and crime commissioners (PCCs) are elected representatives with responsibility for policing in each police area in England and Wales. Each police area—with the exception of Greater London and Greater Manchester, where the directly elected mayor is the policing authority instead—elects a commissioner every four years.

This is the third set of police and crime commissioner elections to be held, following the creation of the role by the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 which led to the holding of the first elections in November 2012.
