The Norfolk County Council election took place on 7 May 1993, coinciding with local elections for county councils in England.

The Conservatives lost control of the County Council for the first time since it was formed in the 19th century, amid dire results for the party nationally.

The Council shifted to No Overall Control, with the Conservatives winning 34 seats, Labour 32, the Liberal Democrats 16 and independents 2. The first ever Labour Leader of Norfolk County Council was subsequently elected.
