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. 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.

=Changes 2019–2023
Local party the Teesville Independents was de-registered with the Electoral Commission in June 2019; its councillors thereafter sat as independents.
The two UKIP councillors, Mike Lockwood and Christopher Gallacher, both left the party in October 2020 to sit as independents.
Six Conservatives left the party in early 2021 to sit as independents, forming the "Cleveland Independent Group". They were Cliff Foggo, Julie Craig, Graham Jeffrey, Vera Rider, Philip Thompson, and Malcolm Griffiths (the latter had been suspended from the party since November 2019). In December 2021 Graham Jeffrey left the Cleveland Independent Group to join the Liberal Democrats, and Cliff Foggo, Julie Craig, and Vera Rider left the group to join the Independent Group, leaving just Philip Thompson and Malcolm Griffiths in the Cleveland Independent Group. Julie Craig subsequently left the Independent Group in March 2022 and served the remainder of her term as an ungrouped independent.
Craig Hannaway, elected for Labour, left the party in March 2021 to sit as an independent.

The Independent Group
The independent councillors who formed part of the council's administration with the Liberal Democrats sat together as "The Independent Group". This was a group for the purposes of the Local Government (Committees and Political Groups) Regulations 1990 (and therefore used to determine entitlement to seats on committees) but was not a formal political party registered with the Electoral Commission. Some members of the group did register a new political party in December 2021, called "Redcar and Cleveland Independent", but the party was de-registered less than a year later without ever having contested an election. Those members of the Independent Group who stood for re-election at the subsequent 2023 election did so as independent candidates.
