Cabot was an electoral ward that covered the centre of Bristol, England. It was represented by two members on Bristol City Council.
Cabot ward was created in 1980,[2] and ceased to exist as a ward in 2016, its area being allocated to Hotwells and Harbourside ward and Central ward following boundary changes.[3]
Cabot ward took its name from the Cabot Tower, a memorial tower on Brandon Hill that was built to commemorate John Cabot's voyage and "discovery" of North America.
