Deben is an electoral ward in East Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England, taking its name from the nearby River Deben. The ward sits along the river estuary and surrounding rolling farmland, encompassing riverside villages and the outskirts of the historic market town of Woodbridge, with easy access to the Suffolk coast and the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Locally the area combines a maritime and agricultural heritage with a modern commuter and small-business economy: sailing, birdwatching and other nature tourism are important, while many residents travel to Ipswich for work. Community life often revolves around village halls, harbour activity and seasonal events, reflecting a long history of river trade and a contemporary focus on balancing conservation with modest development.
