The 1994 Ottawa municipal election was held on November 14, 1994, in Ottawa, Canada. The number of wards in the city had been reduced from 15 to 10 for this election. Mayor Jacquelin Holzman was re-elected in a three-way contest with councillors Joan O'Neill and Tim Kehoe.

Official Results^[1]

Despite the three way race, Holzman won all but two of the city's wards. She was particularly strong in the city's west end, with her best ward being Ward 1 (renamed Britannia-Richmond in 1995), which she had represented part of on council from 1982 to 1991. O'Neill won the remaining two wards, both in the city's south end. Her best ward was Ward 3 (renamed Southgate in 1995), which she had represented on council. Kehoe did not win any wards, but was strongest in the central part of the city, and came within 90 votes of winning Ward 5 (renamed Bruyère-Strathcona in 1995).

City council was reduced from 15 to 10 seats (excluding the mayor), so elections were fought on a new map. Ward names were not adopted until 1995.

The results for the Ottawa Board of Education trustees were as follows. This would be the final election for the OBE, which was merged with the Carleton Board of Education in 1998.^[2] The Zones were co-terminus with their respective wards, except for Zone 4 which also included the Village of Rockcliffe Park and Zone 5 which included the City of Vanier.
