The 2023 Slough Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Slough Borough Council in Berkshire, England.^[1] This was on the same day as other local elections in England.

Following a boundary review all 42 seats on the council were up for election and there was also a change to the electoral cycle for Slough. Previously a third of the council had been elected three years out of every four; from 2023 onwards the whole council would be elected together every four years.^[2]

The elections saw substantial gains by the Conservative Party against the national trend, more than quadrupling their number and ending up with exactly half the seats on the council.
