Elections to the Adur District Council were held on 3 May 1979, alongside the general election. The entire council was up for election, following boundary changes that reduced the number of wards by one, but altogether had added an additional two seats. Overall turnout was recorded at 74.4%.[1]

The election resulted in the Conservatives gaining control of the council.[2][3]
