Ards Peninsula is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Ards and North Down, Northern Ireland. The district elects five members to Ards and North Down Borough Council and contains the wards of Ballywalter, Carrowdore, Kircubbin, Loughries, Portaferry and Portavogie. Ards Peninsula forms part of the Strangford constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Ards Area A which had existed since 1973, and originally contained seven wards (Ballywalter, Donaghadee North, Donaghadee South, Kircubbin, Millisle, Portaferry and Portavogie). For the 1993 local elections it was reduced to five wards, gaining Carrowdore but losing Donaghadee North, Donaghadee South and Millisle to the new Ards East DEA. For the 2014 local elections, it was increased to six wards, regaining Millisle while Donaghadee moved to the new Bangor East and Donaghadee DEA.
