The 2023 Torbay Council election was held on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Torbay Council in England.[1] It coincided with local elections across the United Kingdom.

Before the election, the council was controlled by a coalition between the Liberal Democrats, with 12 seats, and Independents, with 10 seats.[2] The largest party was the Conservatives with 13 seats.[3] There was one vacancy following the death of Jane Barnby in February 2023.[4]

Torbay, along with Wyre Forest, were the only two councils gained by the Conservatives.[5] Conservative leader David Thomas was appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 16 May 2023.[6]
