The 2010 Cook County Board of Commissioners election was held on November 2, 2010.[1] It was preceded by a primary election held on February 5, 2010.[2] It coincided with other 2010 Cook County, Illinois, elections (including the election for president of the Cook County Board of Commissioners). It saw all seventeen seats of the Cook County Board of Commissioners up for election to four-year terms.

The Democratic Party ran candidates in races for all seventeen seats, while the Republican Party contested eleven seats. The Green Party contested ten races (an increase from the single seat they contested in 2006). Democrats increased their majority, flipping a control of a previously-Republican seat. However, Democrats also saw a more than 9-point decline in their share of the cumulative popular vote: with Republicans and Greens each seeing a more than 4.5-point increase.
