2021 Norfolk County Council election

The 2021 Norfolk County Council election took place alongside the other 2021 local elections. 83 of the 84 seats to Norfolk County Council were elected. One seat, Sewell in Norwich, had its election delayed to June 17 after Eve Collishaw, the Conservative candidate, died during the election campaign

The Conservative Party retained control of the council and increased its majority, winning 58 seats with around the same vote share as in the 2017 election: the Liberal Democrats lost three seats in the north of the county, and Labour took losses to the Conservatives in the port towns of King's Lynn and Great Yarmouth as well as three losses to the Green Party who regained ground in southern and central Norwich.
