The 2008 Rugby Borough Council election took place on 1 May 2008 to elect a third of the members of Rugby Borough Council, the council of the Borough of Rugby in England.[1] This was on the same day as the other 2008 United Kingdom local elections. The previous council election took place in 2007 and the following election was held in 2010. In the election, the council stayed under Conservative control.[2] Seven months later the Conservatives held a seat in a by-election in the Avon and Swift ward.[3]
