Sherwood (/ˈʃɜːrwʊd/ SHUR-wuud) is a large district and ward of the city of Nottingham, England, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of the city centre. The population at the 2011 census was 15,414. It is bordered by Woodthorpe to the northeast, Mapperley to the east, Carrington to the south, New Basford and Basford to the west, and Daybrook and Bestwood to the north.

It should be carefully distinguished from Sherwood Forest, the Sherwood parliamentary constituency, and Newark and Sherwood district council, all of which lie several miles further north outside the city boundaries.

Several carved, dated stones in buildings indicate development in the area between 1870 and 1910, during the growth of the lace industry. There are also several listed buildings.

Sherwood Bus Depot was built in 1900 by Nottingham Corporation Tramways, as part of an initiative to extend the Carrington line to Winchester Street. Trams ran on the route until 6 September 1936 when they were replaced by buses. Part of the premises is now occupied by the Samuel Hall public house, part of the J D Wetherspoon chain, and another part as community meeting rooms known as 'The Place Activity Centre', run by the Sherwood Depot Action Group.

The ward of Sherwood (which includes some adjacent neighbourhoods) is represented by Nottingham City Council and has three Labour Party councillors. It lies in the Nottingham East parliamentary constituency, which from 1992 until 2010 was represented by MP John Heppell, and from 2010 by Chris Leslie, who was elected with a majority of 6,969. The constituency is now represented by Labour MP Nadia Whittome.

Within the area of Sherwood, there are two primary schools: Seely Primary and Nursery School on Perry Road, and Haydn Primary School on Haydn Road.

Haydn Road is also the location of Nottingham Free School, which is in Berridge Ward in the neighbourhood of New Basford.

Nottingham Prison and Young Offenders' Institute is located on Perry Road.
