Finchley's municipal elections were held on 10 May 1963. One third of the seats represented by councillors were up for election. One seat falling vacant in each of the eight wards.
Finchley Council was made up of 32 elected members; 24 Councillors who were elected by the voting public and 8 Aldermen who were elected by the Councillors. Councillors served a three year term while Aldermen served a six year term. Since the council was enlarged in 1950 the Conservative Party had been in power. After the 1962 elections the Liberals had the most Councillors but the Conservatives retained power as they had more Aldermen.
