Galgorm is an electoral ward in Mid and East Antrim, Northern Ireland, lying just to the south‑east of the market town of Ballymena. It combines suburban housing and ribbon development with farmland and small woodlands along the valley of the River Main, giving it a semi‑rural feel while remaining closely tied to the services and shops of Ballymena.
The ward is perhaps best known for the historic Galgorm Castle and its wooded demesne, now the setting for the high‑profile Galgorm Resort & Spa, which brings visitors, events and local employment. Residents benefit from pleasant riverside walking and green spaces, a largely residential community character, and straightforward road links to larger centres in the region.
