The 2018 Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council election took place on 3 May 2018 to elect 20 members to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, as part of the wider local elections. The seats were last up for election in 2014. The councillor for Basing up for election this year, Onnalee Cubitt, had rejoined the Conservative Party prior to the election and held her seat as a Conservative.^[1][2]

The Conservative Party won a seat from the Liberal Democrats in Whitchurch, but themselves lost a seat in Winklebury to Labour. As a result, the number of Conservative seats was steady, with Labour having a net gain of one, and the Liberal Democrats a net loss of one. Independent councillor Ian Tiblury held the sole independent seat.^[3]
