Wokingham Borough Council is the local authority of the Borough of Wokingham in Berkshire, England. Since 1998 the council has been a unitary authority, being a district council which also performs the functions of a county council. It is based at the Civic Offices on Shute End in the town of Wokingham.

The council was under no overall control from 2022 to 2025. Following the 2024 election, a minority Liberal Democrat administration formed to run the council. On 5 June 2025, the Liberal Democrats gained their 28th member in a by-election and took control of the Council.
