Forth River
Ward in Belfast, Northern Ireland
| Coordinates: | 54.615, -5.979 |

Forth River is an electoral ward in Belfast, Northern Ireland, taking its name from the small watercourse that runs through the neighbourhood. As with other wards it serves as a unit for local government elections and local identity, and is characterised by mainly residential streets, pockets of green space along the river corridor and small local shopping centres serving day-to-day needs.
Culturally and socially the ward reflects typical urban suburban life in Belfast, with community and church groups, schools and sports clubs playing an active role. Its history mirrors the city’s broader industrial-to-post‑industrial shift, so you find a mix of older housing and later suburban development alongside small businesses; local issues often focus on river management, amenities and housing, and residents look to their councillors for services and neighbourhood improvements.
