Childwall is an electoral ward in Liverpool, England, sitting to the south‑east of the city centre and made up largely of suburban neighbourhoods clustered around the old village core. The ward includes pockets of green space such as Childwall Woods and the nearby Calderstones Park, and has a compact local centre of shops, cafes and pubs that gives it a village‑like feel within the city.

Historically the area has a long parish identity around St Nicholas' Church, and the housing stock is a mixture of Victorian, inter‑war and later suburban homes.
