Upper Malone is an electoral ward in the south of Belfast, Northern Ireland, centred on the leafy Malone suburb and lying close to main routes into the city. The area is predominantly residential, with a mix of Victorian and early 20th‑century housing, tree‑lined streets and small pockets of green space that give it a suburban character within easy reach of the centre.
The ward is notable for its sporting and recreational facilities, including the Upper Malone playing fields and nearby university sports grounds associated with Queen's University Belfast, which contribute to an active local community. Historically developed as a prosperous suburb, it tends to be relatively affluent, attracting families and professionals while still accommodating students and local shops, schools and good public transport links.
