Halstead St. Andrew's is an electoral ward covering part of the town centre and surrounding residential areas of Halstead in the Braintree district of Essex, England. The neighbourhood mixes Victorian terraces and post-war estates with pockets of green space alongside the River Colne, and is centred around the historic St Andrew's Church and local shops.
The area carries echoes of Halstead's textile and light‑industrial past, now reflected in small business units and independent traders rather than large factories, and has a fairly mixed social profile of long‑standing local families and commuters who travel to nearby towns such as Colchester and Braintree. Community life tends to revolve round parish and community events, the high street and local sports clubs, giving it a village‑like feel within an otherwise small market town setting.
