Abbey was an electoral ward covering the centre of Bath, England. It was abolished as part of the boundary changes effected at the elections held on 2 May 2019.[1]

Abbey is rarely used as the name of an area of Bath, and was primarily used just for electoral purposes within the Bath and North East Somerset unitary authority; it elected two councillors.[2]

St John's Catholic Primary School is located on the eastern edge of the former ward.[3]

The electoral wards surrounding the ward were: Lansdown and Walcot to the north, Bathwick to the east, Widcombe to the south, and Kingsmead to the west.[4]
