Sheriff's Mountain is an electoral ward within Derry City and Strabane in Northern Ireland, sitting on the outer edges of the City of Derry. It takes its name from a local rise and combines suburban housing with pockets of rural land; the higher ground gives residents clear views over the surrounding countryside and towards the River Foyle.
Economically the ward largely functions as part of the city's commuter belt, with people travelling into Derry for work and services, while a network of local clubs and community groups maintains a distinct neighbourhood feel. Historically rooted in small-scale farming and local trades, the area has seen steady residential development in recent decades alongside ongoing efforts to protect green spaces and support modest community facilities.
