The Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch was a metropolitan borough of the County of London between 1899 and 1965, when it was merged with the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington and the Metropolitan Borough of Hackney to form the London Borough of Hackney.
The borough was made up of three main districts: Shoreditch, Hoxton and Haggerston.
The borough consisted of the area of the ancient parish of Shoreditch (St Leonard's). The parish vestry had taken on local administration from the 17th century onwards.
