Shoreditch, or Shoreditch St. Leonard, was one of the ancient parishes of Middlesex, England. In 1889 it was transferred to the newly-created County of London and in 1900 became Shoreditch Metropolitan Borough. The Borough was abolished in 1965, becoming part of the London Borough of Hackney.

The Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch was a metropolitan borough of the County of London between 1899 and 1965, when it was merged with the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington and the Metropolitan Borough of Hackney to form the London Borough of Hackney.

Shoreditch is an Inner London area in the historic East End of London and modern Central London, lying immediately to the north of the City of London. The borough was made up of three main neighbourhoods: Shoreditch, Hoxton and Haggerston.

It also could be said to comprise the area of the ancient parish of Shoreditch (St Leonard's) plus part of the ancient liberty of Norton Folgate to the south. The parish vestry had charge of local administration from the 17th century onwards.
