Littledown & Iford is a suburban electoral ward on the eastern edge of Bournemouth within the unitary authority of Christchurch and Poole in England. It covers the residential neighbourhoods of Littledown and Iford and sits a short drive from Bournemouth town centre, combining mainly 20th-century housing with pockets of green space that give the area a quieter, family-friendly feel compared with the seafront.
The ward is known locally for its parks and sports facilities, small parades of shops and generally strong community networks; many residents commute into the wider conurbation for work while enjoying suburban amenities close to hand. Historically the area grew as Bournemouth expanded, so its character is one of suburban development rather than a distinct historic core, with a mix of social and private housing and an emphasis on local grassroots clubs and services.
