The 2023 Rutland County Council election was held on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Rutland County Council in England.[1][2][3] This was on the same day as other local elections across England.

Prior to the election the council was under no overall control, being run by a coalition of the Conservatives and independents. After the election the council remained under no overall control, but the Liberal Democrats became the largest party.[4][5] They subsequently formed a minority administration with the Green Party councillor.[6]
