The 1971 Labour Party deputy leadership election took place in November 1971 after left-wingers Michael Foot and Tony Benn challenged sitting deputy leader Roy Jenkins.

• Roy Jenkins, incumbent Deputy Leader, Member of Parliament for Birmingham Stechford
• Michael Foot, Shadow Leader of the House of Commons, Member of Parliament for Ebbw Vale
• Tony Benn, Chairman of the Labour Party, Member of Parliament for Bristol East

As a result of the first round, Benn was eliminated. The remaining two candidates were left to face each other in a second round a week later.
