An election was held on 4 May 2023, to elect all 41 members of Gedling Borough Council in England. This took place as part of the 2023 United Kingdom local elections.
The council was under Labour majority control prior to the election. This election saw the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats making some gains, but Labour retained its majority with 28 of the 41 seats on the council.

Councillor Meads was elected on the biggest vote of any Calverton councillor in 50 years of the council, and having the biggest by-election landslide in the UK since 1994. This result was at the height of Reforms popularity, however their candidate won 17.9% of the vote compared with Andy MeadsâÂÂs 66.3% vote share. Labour were third at 8% and the conservatives dropped from first to fourth at 6%. Immediately on completing his acceptance speech where he thanked the election team who he described as the best functioning department within the council he informed the chief executive and returning officer Mike Hill that he had formed a group with the other independent Russell Whiting and that they expected seats on all the committees and working groups.
