The 2023 North East Derbyshire District Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect all 53 members of North East Derbyshire District Council in Derbyshire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England.
Prior to the election the council was under no overall control, being led by a Conservative minority administration. The Conservatives had won a majority of the seats at the 2019 election, but a series of defections saw them lose their majority in November 2022.[2][3]
The election saw Labour win a majority of the seats on the council.[4] Labour group leader Nigel Barker was appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 2023.[5]
