The 2023 New York City Council elections were held on November 7, 2023, with primaries having occurred on June 27, 2023.^{[1] [2]} Due to redistricting and the 2020 changes to the New York City Charter, councilmembers elected during the 2021 and 2023 City Council elections will serve two-year terms, with full four-year terms resuming after the 2025 New York City Council elections.^[3] Party nominees were chosen using ranked-choice voting.^[4]

Two incumbents lost re-election; Democrat Marjorie Velazquez lost to Republican Kristy Marmorato, while Republican Ari Kagan, who was elected as a Democrat in 2021 but switched parties in 2022, lost to a fellow incumbent, Democrat Justin Brannan. Brannan and Kagan had been placed in the same district, creating a new district with no incumbent which was won by Democrat Susan Zhuang. All other incumbents were re-elected except for two: Democrat Kristin Richardson Jordan, who retired and was succeeded by fellow Democrat Yusef Salaam, and Democrat Charles Barron, who ran for re-election but lost the Democratic primary to Chris Banks, who went on to win the general election.

The partisan composition of the council remained unchanged. This was the most seats won by the Republican Party in a New York City Council election since 1997.
