Greyfriars is an electoral ward in the city of Hereford, in the county of Herefordshire, England. It occupies a compact urban area close to the city centre and combines older terraces with some post‑war housing, local shops and small businesses that serve a largely residential community.
The ward takes its name from a medieval Franciscan friary and retains a sense of local history alongside modest pockets of regeneration and active community groups. Social life revolves around neighbourhood amenities and community centres rather than large employers, and local councillors and residents are often engaged in issues around housing, public services and preserving green spaces nearby.
