Wavertree ward was an electoral division of Liverpool City Council centred on the Wavertree, Liverpool district of Liverpool.
The ward was first established in 1895 before being dissolved in 1953, it was recreated in 2004 and dissolved again in 2023.

The ward was created from parts of the former Childwall, Church, and Picton wards. [1] The ward was part of the Liverpool Wavertree Parliamentary constituency.
The ward boundaries followed the Liverpool to Manchester railway line, Northway, Thingwall Road, Queens Drive, Woolton Road, Heathfield Road, Smithdown Road, and the West Coast Main Line. [1]
The ward contained the Liverpool Blue Coat School, Childwall Sports and Science Academy, and Wavertree Playground.
The population of the ward taken at the 2021 Census was 14,262. [2]

Following a Boundary Review by The Local Government Boundary Commission for England, the size of the council was reduced from 90 to 85 seats with a change from three-member seats, elected in thirds, three years out of every four, following the British Government instigated Best Value Inspection Report which led to the appointment by the government of Commissioners and the subsequent boundary review for Council Wards in Liverpool which the government initiated with the proviso that the number of councillors be reduced and the predominant number of wards be reduced to single members with all-up elections every four years. The election also marked the end of Liverpool's directly-elected mayoralty. After the election the council reverted to having a leader of the council chosen from amongst the councillors instead.
