The Deansgate electoral ward of Manchester City Council was created by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England to replace part of the City Centre ward in 2018.[1]

Different parts of this ward are represented by different MPs; the majority of the ward is in the Manchester Central constituency but the area north of the railway line through Victoria station is in the Blackley and Broughton constituency.
