Battenberg Court is a short residential cul-de-sac located off Battenberg Street in north Belfast, within the Crumlin Road district. It forms part of later residential development associated with the established street.
The name Battenberg Court is derived directly from Battenberg Street, from which it takes access, and reflects the common practice of applying the name of the principal street to a smaller adjoining court. The use of the suffix “Court” is consistent with twentieth-century residential naming conventions for short cul-de-sacs.
Battenberg Street itself was approved in 1896 and was named after Prince Henry of Battenberg. Battenberg Court preserves this earlier street name and represents subsequent development within the same locality rather than a separately commemorated naming.
