Castle Ward Rural District was a rural district of the administrative county of Northumberland, England from 1894 to 1974, covering an area northwest of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. It was named after the historic Castle Ward of Northumberland.

In 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, most of it was merged to form part of the Castle Morpeth District, with part going to the newly formed Metropolitan Borough of Newcastle in the county of Tyne and Wear (established under the same act). The council offices were located in Ponteland.
