Coleraine Town was one of the three district electoral areas in Coleraine, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 1993. The district elected seven members to Coleraine Borough Council, and formed part of the East Londonderry constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Coleraine Area C which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Ballysally, Central, Churchland, Cross Glebe, Mount Sandel, university and Waterside. It was abolished for the 1993 local elections, with Central, Churchland, Mount Sandel and Waterside moving to the new Coleraine Central DEA and Ballysally, Cross Glebe and University moving to the new Coleraine East DEA.
