Carrickfergus Area C
{{Short description|District electoral areas in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland}}
Carrickfergus Area C was one of the three district electoral areas in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland which existed from 1973 to 1985. The district elected five members to Carrickfergus Borough Council, and formed part of the North Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
