Cityside was one of the five district electoral areas in Derry, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014. The district elected six members to Derry City Council until 1993, and five members until 2014, and formed part of the Foyle constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Londonderry Area C which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Beechwood, Brandywell, Creggan Central, Creggan South, St. Peter's and Westland. For the 1993 local elections it was reduced by one ward, losing St. Peter's. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and replaced with The Moor DEA.
