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. The previous ward most closely corresponding to Hunslet and Riverside was called City and Hunslet, created with the Leeds City Council ward boundary changes of 2004, and contained a larger area of Leeds city centre. Its precursor, which existed from 1980 to 2003, was simply called Hunslet; the precursor to that, existing from 1973 to 1979, was Hunslet East & West.
