The 2023 Cheshire East Council election took place on Thursday 4 May 2023 to elect all 82 members of Cheshire East Council in Cheshire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England.

The council had been under no overall control prior to the election, being run by a Labour minority administration with support from independent councillors. The council remained under no overall control after the election. The Conservatives formed the largest single party, but an agreement was reached between Labour and most of the independent councillors to continue running the council.
