The 2026 East Surrey Council election is due to take place on 7 May 2026 to elect members of East Surrey Council in Surrey, England. This will be on the same day as other local elections.

This will be the inaugural election to East Surrey Council, following its creation from the merger of Elmbridge, Epsom & Ewell, Mole Valley, Reigate & Banstead, and Tandridge, along with the abolition of Surrey County Council. The council will initially operate as a "shadow authority", with the transition to the council's full powers expected by April 2027.^[1]^[2]

72 seats from 36 wards will be contested at the election, a sharp reduction in the number of councillors covering the East Surrey area (246 pre-reorganisation^[f] vs. 72 post-reorganisation, a reduction of 71%). The ward boundaries used will be a modified set of boundaries derived from the Surrey County Council division boundaries covering the East Surrey Council area and last used in the 2021 Surrey County Council election.^[3]
