The 2018 Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 3 May 2018 to elect members of Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council in England.{{cite web | title = Your next election or referendum | url = https://www.stockport.gov.uk/your-next-election-or-referendum | website = stockport.gov.uk | publisher = Stockport MBC | access-date = 23 March 2018 | archive-date = 4 May 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180504225638/https://www.stockport.gov.uk/your-next-election-or-referendum | url-status = dead }} This was on the same day as other local elections. Stockport Council is elected in thirds, which means that in each three member local ward, one councillor is elected every year, except every four years which is classed as a fallow year. The last fallow year was 2017, when no local government elections took place in the borough. Those councillors elected in 2018 will serve a four-year term, expiring in 2022. The election in Edgeley & Cheadle Heath was deferred, owing to the death of the Conservative candidate, until 24 May 2018.
After the election, the Labour minority administration that had governed since 2016 was able to continue in office, although without a majority the administrations budget was voted down in March 2019, the first time this had happened since the 1980s. {{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-47854055|title=Is it the year of the political minnows in Greater Manchester?|work=BBC News|date=13 April 2019}}
