Filwood is an electoral ward of the city of Bristol, England. It lies in the south of the city and covers the suburbs of Filwood Park and Inns Court, and a large part of Knowle West.[3][4]

Filwood is represented by two members on Bristol City Council, which as of 2024 are Lisa Durston and Rob Logan of the Labour Party.

Filwood ward was first created in 1980,[5] with small changes made to the ward boundaries ahead the 1999 local election,[6] and again ahead of the 2016 local election.[7]
