Wirral was a rural district in Cheshire, England from 1894 to 1933. It was created under the Local Government Act 1894 from the Wirral rural sanitary district.
The parishes of Landican and Prenton became part of the county borough of Birkenhead in 1928.
It was abolished in 1933 under a County Review Order, being split between the Bebington urban district, the county borough of Birkenhead, Ellesmere Port urban district, Hoylake urban district, Neston urban district, Wallasey county borough and the new Wirral Urban District.
Today the area is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral in Merseyside and the borough of Ellesmere Port and Neston in Cheshire.
