No overall control

The 2023 East Riding of Yorkshire Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect all 67 members of East Riding of Yorkshire Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England.

The Conservatives lost their majority on the council at this election, which saw the council go under no overall control.

The Conservatives remained the largest party and managed to form a minority administration. Immediately after the election the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats both changed their group leaders. The Conservative leader Jonathan Owen was replaced by Anne Handley, who was then appointed the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 18 May 2023. The Liberal Democrats replaced their leader David Nolan with Denis Healy. There had been no Labour councillors prior to the election; there were four afterwards and they appointed Steve Gallant as their leader.
