The 2023 Peterborough City Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect member of Peterborough City Council in Cambridgeshire, England. There were 21 of the 60 seats on the council contested. The election took place alongside other local elections across England.

The council remained under no overall control, being led by a Conservative minority administration.

Overview

Going into the election, the position of the parties and the number of seats they were defending was:

• Conservative: 6 defences (22 other seats)
• Labour (and Co-operative): 6 defences (6 other seats)
• Liberal Democrat: 4 defences (4 other seats)
• Green: 3 defences (1 other seat)
• Werrington / Peterborough First: 1 defence (3 other seats)
• Independent: 1 defence (1 other seat)

Immediately after the election the position was that the Conservatives had 30 seats, Labour 14, the Liberal Democrats 5, Green 3 and there were 5 independents / Peterborough First.

Two weeks after the elections took place, four councillors, Brian Rush (Stanground South), Peter Hiller (Glinton & Castor), Ray Bisby (Stanground South) and Gavin Elsey (Wittering), left the Conservative Party to join Peterborough First.

In June 2023, after an initial suspension, Councillor Mohammed Farooq (Hargate & Hempsted) quit the Conservative Party, citing a "bullying, toxic culture. He was followed soon after by his son, Councillor Saqib Farooq (Glinton & Castor) and ward-colleague Councillor John Howard.
