The 2010 Barking and Dagenham Council election took place on 6 May 2010 to elect members of Barking and Dagenham London Borough Council in London, England.

The whole council was up for election, and the Labour Party retained control of the council winning all of the seats. The British National Party lost all the seats they had gained in 2006. The Conservatives lost their only remaining seat, and the Liberal Democrats failed to regain any seats they had lost four years earlier.

The 2010 general election was held on the same day, which increased turnout. The elections took place on the same day as other local elections in 2010.

At the 2006 election, Labour had won 38 seats, the BNP 12 and the Conservatives 1.
