Elections to Ipswich Borough Council (IBC) are currently taking place as of 5 May 2022. 17 seats will be contested – one in each of the 16 wards,{{cite web |title=Ipswich Borough Council elections {{!}} Ipswich Borough Council |url=https://www.ipswich.gov.uk/content/ipswich-borough-council-elections-0 |website=www.ipswich.gov.uk |publisher=Ipswich Borough Council |access-date=3 March 2022}} plus an additional bye election in St John's Ward.{{cite news |last1=Noble |first1=Jason |title=Who is standing in your ward in Ipswich Borough Council's elections? |url=https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/local-council/ipswich-borough-council-2022-election-candidate-list-8808400 |access-date=13 April 2022 |work=Ipswich Star |issue=6 April 2022 |publisher=Archant |date=2022 |language=en-UK}}

The Conservatives failed to capitalise on any of the gains they had made in the previous year, and lost two seats to Labour. They made noticeable progress in traditionally strong Labour areas such Bridge, Gainsborough and Sprites, although failed to make gains. They lost Holywells and Stoke Park to Labour, which are traditionally stronger areas for the party.

Labour, who increased their majority from 12 to 16, made two gains from the Conservatives but actually saw their vote share fall on 2018, when this round of seats were last fought.

The Liberal Democrats saw their overall votes across the Borough remain static, but scored their best ever result in St Margaret’s ward, which is a stronghold for them.

The Green Party made the most progress in terms of vote share but failed to win a seat. Their support rose most in more central areas such as Alexandra and Holywells.
