Battersea (also known as St. Mary, Battersea) was a parish in the metropolitan area of London, England.

As an ancient parish, Battersea was part of the Hundred of Brixton and County of Surrey. It included the exclave of Penge.

From 1855 the parish came within the area of responsibility of the Metropolitan Board of Works. The two parts of the parish were assigned to different districts by the act establishing the MBW: Battersea was included in the area of the Wandsworth District Board of Works and the hamlet of Penge in that of Lewisham District Board. On March 25, 1888 a separate vestry was formed as a local authority for "The parish of Saint Mary Battersea excluding Penge". [Metropolis Management (Battersea and Westminster) Act 1887 (50 & 51 Vict. C.17)]

In 1889 the area of the Metropolitan Board of Works was constituted as the County of London, and Battersea was transferred from Surrey to the new county. [Local Government Act, 1888 (51 & 52 Vict. C. 41), s.40]

In 1900 the County of London was divided into twenty-eight metropolitan boroughs, and the vestries and district boards were dissolved. The parish became the Metropolitan Borough of Battersea, with the borough council replacing the vestry.

The population of the parish in 1896 was 165,115 and it had adopted the Public Libraries Act 1850 immediately on obtaining local independence in 1888. For electoral purposes the parish was divided into four wards and had 120 elected vestrymen.
