The 2023 Broadland District Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Broadland District Council in Norfolk, England. This was on the same day as other local elections.
The council was under Conservative majority control prior to the election. They remained the largest party after the election but lost their majority, leaving the council under no overall control. The Conservative leader, Shaun Vincent, lost his seat. A coalition of the Liberal Democrats, Labour and Greens subsequently formed, with Liberal Democrat leader Susan Holland being appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 25 May 2023, defeating the new Conservative group leader Fran Whymark.
