The 1968 Barking Council election took place on 9 May 1968 to elect members of Barking London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the Labour Party stayed in overall control of the council.
This election was the second local election since the borough was formed in 1964. Thus, incumbent councillors were seeking re-election for the first time. Labour was the only party that ran a full slate of candidates.
Despite the Conservatives winning 13 additional councillors, the Labour Party maintained control electing 32 councillors to the Conservatives 13 and Resident Association 4.
There were no by-elections.
