London Borough of Waltham Forest [ˈwɔːlθəm ˈfɒɹɪst] ist ein Stadtbezirk im Nordosten von London. Bei der Gründung von Greater London im Jahr 1965 entstand er aus den Gemeinden Chingford, Leyton und Walthamstow in der Grafschaft Essex, trotz des Widerstandes einer Reihe von Bürgern Chingfords gegen den Namen.

Die Bevölkerung besteht aus 64,5 % Weißen, 14,8 % Südasiaten und 15,4 % Schwarzen. In dem Bezirk befinden sich das Walthamstow College, die William Morris-Gallery und das Vestry House Museum, Vestry Road, ein ehemaliges Arbeitshaus. Der Straßenmarkt in der High Street ist mit einem Kilometer der angeblich längste in Europa. Er wurde 1885 begründet.
