Beeston was an urban district in Nottinghamshire, England, from 1894 to 1935.

The urban district was created by the Local Government Act 1894 on the borders of the Beeston Civil Parish and the Beeston Urban Sanitary District. It bordered the county borough of Nottingham in the north east, Stapleford Rural District in the north west, two different disconnected parts of the Basford Rural District to the north and south, and to the west the South East Derbyshire Rural District and Long Eaton in Derbyshire.

In 1935 it was merged by a County Review Order with Stapleford Rural District into the Beeston and Stapleford Urban District, and is now part of Broxtowe Borough Council.

On the formation of the Urban District area in 1894, a council was established consisting of 15 elected officials. This replaced the former Beeston Local Board.[1] After the election on 17 December 1894, the council comprised 10 Conservative councillors and 5 Liberal councillors.[2] The first meetings of the Council were held at the Board Schools until the council built its own offices on Church Street, Beeston in 1897.[3]
