The 2023 election to Mid Ulster District Council was scheduled and held on 18 May 2023, alongside other local elections in Northern Ireland, two weeks after local elections in England.[1] The Northern Ireland elections were delayed by 2 weeks to avoid overlapping with the coronation of King Charles III.[2]

They returned 40 members to the council via Single Transferable Vote.
