The Airfield ward sits on the eastern edge of King's Lynn within the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. It is primarily suburban and residential, with a mix of private and social housing, local shops and community facilities serving a mixed-age population.
The name reflects the area's proximity to a former airfield and broader military activity that has shaped parts of the county.
