Ballymacarrett
Ward in Belfast, Northern Ireland

Ballymacarrett is an electoral ward on the eastern side of Belfast, Northern Ireland, lying along the east bank of the River Lagan in East Belfast. Historically it developed as a working‑class neighbourhood tied to shipbuilding and heavy industry, with close links to Harland and Wolff and the nearby Titanic Quarter; since the decline of those industries the area has seen a mix of regeneration projects alongside longstanding residential streets and social housing.
Socially and culturally the ward is notable as an interface area bordering the Catholic enclave of Short Strand, which has shaped its recent history through periods of sectarian tension as well as cross‑community initiatives. You’ll find Victorian terraces, local shops, community groups and murals reflecting loyalist identity, and green spaces such as Victoria Park are close by, while transport links keep it connected to the city centre and the docks.
