Ellesmere Port and Neston is a local government district, borough and parliamentary constituency in Cheshire, England. It covers the southern part of the Wirral Peninsula, that part which is not included in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral.

Its main town is Ellesmere Port, an industrial town on the River Mersey. The rest of the district is partly rural and partly residential including small towns such as Neston and Parkgate, both on the River Dee.

It was formed on April 1, 1974 by the merger of the borough of Ellesmere Port and Neston urban district. The district was known simply as Ellesmere Port until the name was changed by the council effective June 21, 1976.
