2023 Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council election

The 2023 Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections in England. All 59 seats were up for election. Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's elections are held every four years.

Summary
Prior to the election the council was under no overall control, being run by a coalition of the Liberal Democrats and the "Independent Group", comprising 13 of the independents. The leader of the council was independent councillor Mary Lanigan.

The council remained under no overall control after the election. Labour was the largest party, and both it and the Conservatives made gains, largely at the expense of the independents and Liberal Democrats. Mary Lanigan lost her seat.

A minority Labour administration formed after the election, with Labour group leader Alec Brown being appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 25 May 2023.
