Fairfield is a ward in the London Borough of Croydon, covering most of the Croydon area of London in the United Kingdom. The ward currently forms part of Andrew Pelling MP's Croydon Central constituency, which has one of the smallest majorities for the Conservative Party in the UK on its current boundaries.

The ward returns three councillors every four years to Croydon Council. At the Croydon Council election 2006, David Fitze, Vidhi Mohan and Sue Winborn were elected to the council. All of them stood as Conservative Party candidates. The turnout in the ward was similar to others in the area.

Fairfield contains two distinct areas: Croydon town centre to the west with its retail and office core; and Park Hill and the Whitgift Estate to the east which is mostly 20th century housing bordering Lloyd Park. Also found in the ward are Ruskin House, the headquarters of the Croydon Labour Party, and the Fairfield Halls concert hall and arts centre. The Vanguard Way passes along the Fairfield Path. The ward contains the tallest building in the borough, Altitude 25.
