Elections to Epping Forest Council were held on 1 May 2008. One third of the council was up for election and the council remained in Conservative control.
This election saw the largest Green competition. The Chigwell Residents Association's sole councillor, John Knapman, defected to join the Conservatives and won his seat of Chigwell Village. The Loughton Residents Association gained a seat, whilst the BNP lost almost half its representation, despite reaching a record high vote share in the district.
