Feltham was an urban district in Middlesex, England from 1904 to 1965.
It was based on the parish of Feltham, which had previously been part of the Staines Rural District. In 1930, the Rural District was disbanded, and the parishes of East Bedfont and Hanworth added to Feltham.
It was abolished under the London Government Act 1963, in 1965, to form part of the new London Borough of Hounslow, in Greater London.
The district's coat of arms, granted in 1945, was: Per fess wavy argent and azure in chief two palets sable between a Tudor rose stalked, slipped and leaved proper and a peacock in his pride vert and in base in front of two wings conjoined of the first a sword erect or. The crest was: On a wreath of the colours within a chaplet of hawthorn fructed proper a mount of pellets thereon an eagle wings expanded or.
The wavy line and the silver and blue field represent the Duke of Northumberland's River which takes the head-waters of the River Colne to Syon House, and the Longford River (also called the Queen's or Cardinal's River) which takes the Colne Waters to serve the fountain and lakes of Hampton Court Palace.
