This is a list of members of the Western Australian Legislative Council from 27 July 1896 to 9 May 1898. The chamber had 21 seats made up of seven provinces each electing three members, on a system of rotation whereby one-third of the members would retire at each biennial election. The Constitution Act Amendment Act 1896, which passed after the 1896 Council election, created a new seat of North-East Province, which had its inaugural election on 29 June 1897 with terms expiring in 1904, 1902 and 1900.
