Cultra is a small coastal ward in Ards and North Down, Northern Ireland, sitting on the northern shore of Belfast Lough just east of Holywood and within easy commuting distance of Belfast. The area includes a railway halt at Cultra railway station and a stretch of attractive seafront, giving it a distinctly residential, waterside character.

Locally notable for its affluent housing and maritime life, Cultra is also home to the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum and the sailing community around the Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club, which provide cultural and leisure draws beyond the purely residential feel. Historic Victorian and Edwardian villas, together with the museum and yachting activity, give the ward a strong local identity and steady visitor interest.
