Wirral Urban District was an urban district in Cheshire, England from 1933 to 1974. It was created from part of the disbanded Wirral Rural District and covered an area on the south-west side of the Wirral Peninsula. The largest settlement was Heswall, where the urban district council was based. The district was abolished in 1974 to become part of the new Metropolitan Borough of Wirral which covers most of the peninsula.
