Elections to elect all members (councillors) of Thanet District Council were held on 5 May 2011, as part of the United Kingdom local elections, 2011 taking place simultaneously with the Alternative Vote Referendum. No political party won an overall majority of seats, meaning that the council went into 'No Overall Control' status for the first time since 1991. The Conservative Party ran a minority administration until December that year, when a Conservative councillor defected to the Independents group, enabling The Labour Party to run a minority administration until 2015. The District has as its main towns the beach resort towns of Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs.

Labour had 25 seats, only one short of a majority and so Labour continued to operate a minority administration.
