Riversway was an electoral ward in Preston, Lancashire, England. The ward was named for its location close to the River Ribble, and the historical links to the former Port of Preston. The ward comprised three distinct areas; the former Docklands, now a shopping area and residential community, with new build apartments and housing overlooking the dock; Broadgate, the residential area built during the Industrial Revolution; and Christ Church, a community of traditional terraced housing.

The ward contained the administrative headquarters of Lancashire County Council.

Riversway returned three members to Preston City Council, elected 'in thirds' in first past the post elections each year.

The ward formed part of the Lancashire County Council electoral division of Preston City.

The ward was abolished for the 2019 Preston City Council election.^[1] The Docklands area was transferred to Ashton ward; areas east of the A582 Strand Road/Guild Way became part of the new City Centre ward.
