Hastings Borough Council is the local authority for Hastings in East Sussex, England. Hastings has had a council since medieval times, which has been reformed on numerous occasions. Since 1974, Hastings has been a non-metropolitan district with borough status.

The council has been under no overall control since 2022. Following the 2024 election a Green Party minority administration formed to run the council. The council is based at Muriel Matters House on the seafront.
