The 2019 Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2019 to elect members of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council in England.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections.

The council was under no overall control prior to the election, being run by a Labour minority administration. Following the election the council remained under no overall control, but a coalition of the Liberal Democrats and independent councillors formed to take control, with independent councillor Mary Lanigan being appointed the new leader of the council.[2]
