Bingley is an electoral ward in the metropolitan district of Bradford, West Yorkshire, in England. It sits on the valley of the River Aire, between Bradford and Keighley, and combines a compact town centre with suburban and semi‑rural neighbourhoods.
The area is notable for the nearby stretch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the famous Five Rise Locks, which draw walkers and canal enthusiasts, while Myrtle Park and local conservation areas reflect its Victorian and industrial heritage. Historically it grew through textile mills and canal trade, and today the ward mixes commuter housing, local retail and pockets of tourism tied to its waterways and countryside setting.
