Porchester ward is a former electoral ward in the city of Nottingham, England. The ward contained two listed buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. Both the listed buildings are designated at Grade II, the lowest of the three grades, which is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest".[1] The ward was to the northeast of the city centre, and the listed buildings, a boundary marker and a war memorial, are adjacent to each other by a road junction.
