Battenhall is an electoral ward on the southern edge of Worcester in Worcestershire, England. It is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and post-war housing, local shops and amenities, and reasonably quick journeys into the city centre and onto the M5 for longer commutes.
Historically the area grew up from former farmland as the city expanded, and today its character is defined by quiet streets, neighbourhood green spaces and active community groups and schools; the local economy is mainly domestic-facing with small businesses and services serving residents rather than heavy industry.
