Old Swan ward was an electoral division of Liverpool City Council, centred on the Old Swan district of Liverpool.
Background
The ward was created in 1953; its boundaries were changed in 1973, 1980 and 2004 before being divided up in 2023.

The ward boundary was changed for the 1980 elections. A report of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England published in November 1978 set out proposals for changes to the wards of Liverpool City Council, maintaining the number of councillors at 99 representing 33 wards. Old Swan ward was represented by three councillors.The City of Liverpool (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1979
The report describes the boundaries of Old Swan ward as "Commencing at a point where the southeastern boundary of Tuebrook Ward meets the southwestern boundary of Croxteth Ward, thence southeastwards along said southwestern boundary and southwards and southwestwards along the western boundary of Broad Green Ward and continuing southwards along Mill Lane to the Edge Hill to Huyton railway line, thence westwards along said railway to Rathbone Road, thence northeastwards along said road to Pighue Lane, thence generally northwestwards along said lane to the railway at Olive Mount Curve, thence northwestwards along said railway to the southeastern boundary of Tuebrook Ward, thence northwestwards and northeastwards along said boundary to the point of commencement".{{cite web |title=Report No.319 |url=http://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/11646/319.-liverpool.pdf |publisher=Local Government Boundary Commission For England |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220320084653/http://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/11646/319.-liverpool.pdf |archive-date=2022-03-20}}

A review by the Boundary Committee for England recommended that the council was formed of a reduced number of 90 members elected from 30 wards. The ward was formed from the former Old Swan ward, losing a small area to the new Tuebrook and Stoneycroft ward and gaining a part of the former Broadgreen ward.{{cite web|url=http://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/north-west/merseyside/liverpool|title=Boundary Commission Report|date=15 May 2010}} The ward was part of the Liverpool Wavertree Parliamentary constituency.
The population of the ward at the 2021 Census was 15,596.{{cite web |url=https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/northwestengland/wards/liverpool/E05000904__old_swan/ |website=citypopulation.de |title=Old Swan (Ward, United Kingdom) - Population Statistics, Charts, Map and Location |access-date=23 July 2023}}
