The2023 North Lincolnshire Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect all 43 members ofNorth Lincolnshire Council inLincolnshire, England.^[1] This was at the same time as otherlocal elections across England.

The Conservatives retained their majority on the council.

Following the2019 election the council had comprised 27 Conservative and 16 Labour councillors. In October 2019 the former leader of the Labour group, Mark Kirk, left the party and sat as an independent.^[2] There were then three by-elections in May 2021, which saw the Conservatives gain one extra seat from Labour. The 2023 election saw the parties return to the same number of seats they had had in 2019.^[3][4][5]
