2023 Oadby and Wigston Borough Council election

The 2023 Oadby and Wigston Borough Council election was held on 4 May 2023 to elect all 28 members of Oadby and Wigston Borough Council in Leicestershire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England.

All wards were up for election, each with 2 or 3 councillors to be elected. The Liberal Democrats were defending control of the council, having won 24 of 26 seats at the previous election. The previous leader of the council, John Boyce, stood down as leader two weeks before the election, having decided not to stand for re-election. He had been in the post for 17 years. He was replaced by Samia Haq.

The Liberal Democrats retained their majority at the election.
