The second elections to the North Riding County Council were held on Thursday, 3 March 1892. The North Riding was one of three divisions of the historic county of Yorkshire in England. The county council consisted of 59 members (one for each of 59 divisions - having decreased from 60 with the transfer of Norton to the East Riding in 1889), with 20 more voting aldermen to be elected by the new council. 12 of the seats were contested while 47 were uncontested. The election saw control of the council being retained by the Conservatives, although again with a large majority of unaffiliated members.
Following the election, John Dundas and George Lascelles were re-elected as the chairman and vice-chairman of the council at its first meeting, held on 16 March 1892. Lascelles succeeded Dundas in the chair following his death that September.
