Hykeham Central is an electoral ward in the district of North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, covering the central part of North Hykeham immediately south of Lincoln. The ward sits close to the River Witham and benefits from good road links, including the A46, making it a popular residential area for commuters working in the city and beyond.
The area is largely residential with a mix of housing, local shops, schools and community groups, reflecting medieval village roots followed by substantial 20th-century suburban growth; local life centres on neighbourhood services and grassroots organisations while the economy is dominated by small businesses and commuter households. Community events, active parish and district councillors and nearby green spaces give the ward a civic feel despite its proximity to urban Lincoln.
