2023 West Lindsey District Council election

The 2023 West Lindsey District Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of West Lindsey District Council in Lincolnshire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections in England.

Prior to the election the council was under no overall control; the Conservatives had won a majority at the previous election in 2019 but had lost their majority during 2021 as a result of changes of allegiance. The council was therefore being run by a administration comprising the Conservatives and three of the independent councillors.

Following the election the Liberal Democrats won exactly half the seats on the council. The Liberal Democrats formed an administration with the support of one of the independent councillors, with Liberal Democrat leader Trevor Young being appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 2023.
