Hengrove is a suburb and council ward of Bristol, England, situated between Whitchurch, Knowle and Bishopsworth, running along both dual carriageways, Wells Road (A37) and Airport Road (A4174). It consists mainly of working to middle class terrace houses. It contains an infant, primary and secondary school.

It is served by bus services 36, 50, 51, 75, 76 and 90 and will also be served by new MetroBus rapid transit services in 2017.
