Jordanstown (Irish: Baile Mhic Shiúrtáin) is a townland (of 964 acres)[1] and electoral ward in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

[2] Jordanstown includes a University of Ulster campus, a bowling club, a few schools and shops.

The place is named from an Anglo-Norman family called Jordan who accompanied John de Courcy to Carrickfergus in 1182.

Nuala O'Loan, in her capacity as a prison independent custody visitor (ICV), who was named Northern Ireland's first Police Ombudsman many years later, was injured in the attack, and, pregnant, lost the baby she was carrying at the time.

Jordanstown is covered by the university district electoral area of Newtownabbey Borough Council.
