Banbridge is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Northern Ireland. The district elects seven members to Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council and contains the wards of Banbridge East, Banbridge North, Banbridge South, Banbridge West, Gilford, Loughbrickland and Rathfriland.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Banbridge Area A which had existed since 1973. It was called Banbridge Town until 2014, and contained five wards (Ballydown, Banbridge West, Edenderry, Fort and Seapatrick). For the 1993 local elections it gained an additional ward, The Cut.
