Baffins is an electoral ward on the north‑eastern side of Portsmouth, situated on Portsea Island in Hampshire, England. It is largely residential, with a mix of inter‑war and post‑war housing, small shopping parades, schools and community centres, and it sits between neighbouring wards such as Hilsea and Copnor.
The ward is best known locally for Baffins Pond, a sizeable green and wildlife area that serves as a community focal point for walking, birdwatching and volunteer conservation activity; the neighbourhood also has historical ties to the city’s naval economy and has seen gradual regeneration projects in recent years. Its combination of green space, local shops and easy access to central Portsmouth gives it a quietly suburban, community‑minded character.
