Prince's ward was an administrative division of the London Borough of Lambeth, England from 1965 to 2022. It was located in the north of the borough, bounded by the River Thames on the west and Kennington Park Road on the east. It was made up of much of Kennington and Vauxhall.

Prince's ward was located in the Vauxhall parliamentary constituency and was one of four wards in the borough's north Lambeth division.

Prince's contained two schools: Archbishop Sumner Primary School, and Vauxhall Primary School. Prince's along with its neighbouring Oval ward, is home to the buzzing night-time economy of Vauxhall, including the renowned Grade II listed, LGBT venue Royal Vauxhall Tavern.

Prince's was also the home of Vauxhall Gardens Estate Residents and Tenants Association (VGERTA) that represents 2,500 residents in Vauxhall Gardens Estate which is the biggest Residents and Tenants Association in Lambeth.
