Elections to Gedling Borough Council in Nottinghamshire were held on 2 May 2019, the same day as the other local government elections in England and Northern Ireland. The election used the nineteen wards created as a result of boundary commission recommendations formulated for the 2015 contest, with each division electing between one and three Councillors using the first-past-the-post electoral system. A total of 41 representatives were elected.
After the 2015 election, a Labour majority administration of 25 was formed. In 2019, Labour gained four seats, increasing their numbers to 29, eight clear of the Council's majority threshold.

Changes 2019–2023 Simon Murray, elected as a Conservative councillor for Newstead Abbey, was created a life peer as Simon Murray, Baron Murray of Blidworth and appointed a Minister of State at the Home Office in October 2022; the resulting vacancy, notified in November 2022, fell within six months of the next ordinary election and so was not filled by a by-election, remaining vacant until the 2023 election.
