Northwell is an electoral ward in the northern part of the unitary authority of Luton, in Bedfordshire, England. It is primarily residential, made up of a mix of post‑war council housing and later private developments, with local shopping parades, schools and green spaces serving everyday community needs rather than tourist attractions.
The ward reflects Luton's broader multicultural population and has an active community life centred on neighbourhood centres and voluntary groups; it is represented on Luton Borough Council and has been involved in typical urban issues such as housing maintenance, local regeneration and provision of youth and social services. Its history is tied to Luton's 20th‑century suburban expansion, so much of the built environment and street pattern dates from that period.
