Sleaford Navigation is an electoral ward in the district of North Kesteven, in Lincolnshire, England, covering part of the market town of Sleaford. It mixes residential streets and small local businesses with community facilities, and many residents commute to nearby centres such as Lincoln and Grantham, making it a broadly suburban area framed by the surrounding Fenland countryside.
The ward takes its name from the historic waterway heritage along the River Slea, and the legacy of the old navigation gives the area a strong local identity: volunteers and green-space groups often focus on canal-edge projects and conservation. Architecturally there are pockets of Georgian and Victorian character alongside more modern housing, and the social scene is typically local and community-oriented, with events, clubs and parish activities playing a noticeable part in everyday life.
