Hunslet and Riverside is an electoral ward of Leeds City Council in Leeds, West Yorkshire, largely covering the inner city area of Hunslet to the south of the city centre. It was created in advance of the 2018 council election.
Prior to the 2018 election, the predecessor ward most closely corresponding to Hunslet and Riverside was City and Hunslet ward, containing Leeds city centre since 2004. From 1980 to 2022, the councillors in these wards all belonged to the Labour Party. In May 2022, however, the ward elected a councillor from the Green Party; the same election saw a similar departure in the neighbouring ward of Middleton Park, which elected a councillor from the Social Democratic Party.[4][5]
