Desborough Loatland Ward is a two member ward within Kettering Borough Council located in the north of Desborough, Northamptonshire. The ward is formally known as Loatland but, both for sake of clarity and to ensure continuity with proposed renaming of the ward in conjunction with boundary changes for the 2007 local elections, this article refers to the ward as "Desborough Loatland".

The ward was last fought at Borough Council level in the 2003 local council elections, in which both seats were won by the Conservatives, unseating former Labour councillor Derek Fox.

The current councillors are Cllr. Belinda Humfrey and Cllr. Mark Dearing.
