The 2011 Blackpool Borough Council election took place on 5 May 2011 to elect members of the unitary Blackpool Borough Council in England. The whole council was up for election and the Labour party gained overall control of the council from the Conservative party.

The results saw Blackpool Labour gain 15 seats to take control from the Conservatives. Conservative councillors who lost seats included the deputy leader of the party Ian Fowler and the cabinet member for education, Peter Collins. Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats were reduced to just one councillor, Douglas Green. Overall turnout at the election was 37.41%.
