Carshalton was a local government district in north east Surrey from 1894 to 1965 around the town of Carshalton.

It was created an urban district in 1894 by the Local Government Act 1894. In 1935 the boundaries of the district were altered after the abolition of Epsom Rural District.

The district was abolished in 1965 by the London Government Act 1963 and the former area was transferred to Greater London to be combined with that of other districts to form the present-day London Borough of Sutton.

The arms were granted 14 May 1952.[1]
