The 2015 Maldon District Council election took place on 7 May to elect all members of Maldon District Council in Essex, England, the same day as the other 2015 United Kingdom local elections and held simultaneously at the same polling places or via the optional combined return of two postal vote envelopes with the 2015 United Kingdom General Election.

The governing group of Conservative councillors continued to have the same number of representatives with at least across all areas of the district - all bar two councillors are members of this political party as before the election. The Althorne and Southminster two-seat wards returned one other affiliated member each, the latter being a hold by an independent councillor and the former a gain by a member of UKIP (from a Conservative) both thus to co-represent the area in council meetings alongside a Conservative member. A Conservative gain of an independent affiliated seat in the district, one of those for Burnham on Crouch North completed the election in which 24 seats of 26 are held by members of the same governing party.

In the context of local authorities in the United Kingdom, no overall control is a situation in which no single political group achieves a majority of seats, analogous to a hung parliament. Of the 248 councils who had members up for election in the 2019 local elections, 73 resulted in a NOC administration. In the 2021 election, 14 resulted in no overall control. The term can still be used for several other countries, such as for two local councils of Malta and the General Assembly of Budapest in Hungary.
