Springtown is an electoral ward on the Waterside of Derry, within the Derry City and Strabane council area of Northern Ireland. It sits close to the banks of the River Foyle northeast of the city centre and is largely residential, mixing post‑war housing estates with later developments and good road links into the rest of the city and district.
The area has strong community networks, local schools, shops and active sports clubs, and has been the focus of various regeneration and community projects in recent years. Historically rooted in working‑class life and marked in local memory by places such as Springtown Camp, it combines a visible civic engagement with ongoing social and economic challenges typical of many urban wards.
