The 2023 Tamworth Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect 10 of the 30 councillors on Tamworth Borough Council in Staffordshire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England.

The council was under Conservative majority control prior to the election. They remained the largest party after the election but made a net loss of five seats, whilst Labour won most votes and took eight of the ten available seats. The council was left under no overall control after the election. The Conservatives chose a new group leader after the election, with Paul Turner replacing Jeremy Oates. Turner was formally appointed as leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 23 May 2023, leading a Conservative minority administration.
