:List of electoral wards in Swansea

This list of electoral wards in Swansea includes council wards in City and County of Swansea, Wales, which elect councillors to City and County of Swansea Council.

The county is divided into 32 electoral divisions, returning a total of 75 county councillors. Some of these divisions are coterminous with communities (civil parishes) of the same name. Some communities have their own elected community council.

A boundary review changed a number of county wards, affective from the 2022 local elections.

2022 ward changes

In 2021 a large number of proposals by the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales were confirmed, to reduce the number of wards to Swansea Council, from 36 to 32, but with the number of councillors increasing from 72 to 75. This was designed to make the ratio between councillors and voters more equal.{{cite news |author= Richard Youle |work =Wales Online | url = https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/swansea-elections-councillors-news-voting-20902276 |title =Swansea is to have three more councillors next year as some boundaries change |date = 30 June 2021|access-date =24 May 2022}}{{cite news |work =Swansea Bay News |url=https://swanseabaynews.com/2021/06/30/more-councillors-but-fewer-wards-after-council-boundary-changes-in-swansea/ |title =More councillors but fewer wards after council boundary changes in Swansea |date = 30 June 2021| access-date =24 May 2022}}

Fifteen ward boundaries would be unaffected (though with a few name changes): Bishopston, Bonymaen (now Bon-y-maen), Cwmbwrla, Fairwood, Landore, Llansamlet, Mayals, Morriston, Mynyddbach (now Mynydd-bach), Penclawdd, Penderry, Penllergaer, Sketty, Townhill and Uplands.

The large Mawr ward ceased to exist, its communities divided amongst neighbouring wards and a new ward of Pontlliw and Tircoed created. A Mumbles ward was created by merging the Newton and Oystermouth wards. A Llwchwr ward was created by merging Kingsbridge, Lower Loughor and Upper Loughor. A new Waterfront ward was created from parts of the Castle ward and St Thomas ward. A new Waunarlwyd ward was created from part of Cockett. Dunvant, Killay North and Killay South were merged to create a Dunvant and Killay ward. The Gorseinon and Penyrheol wards were combined to become Gorseinon and Penyrheol.

Pre-2022 wards

Image:Swansea_UK_ward_map_(numbered).svg

Prior to a 2021 ward boundary review, the city was divided into 36 electoral wards. Most of these wards were coterminous with communities (parishes) of the same name. Each community can have an elected council. The following table lists pre-2022 council wards, communities and associated geographical areas. Communities with a community council are indicated with a '*':
