Walker is a residential suburb and electoral ward just east of the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The population at the 2011 census was 11,701; the most historic fact about Walker is contained in its name, which refers to Hadrian's Wall which passed along its northern edge. The place-name ` Walker' is first attested in 1242; this means'wall-carr', to say,'the marsh by the Roman wall'. Hadrian's Wall is not visible in Walker today, although a small fragment can be seen in Shields Road in Byker to the west, Segedunum fort is a major site at the end of the Wall in Wallsend to the east. Large-scale coal-mining began in the area in the early 1700s, with up to ten collieries in operation in the Walker area. A wagon-way was constructed during this period to facilitate transportation of coal to the riverside staithes. Walker used to have a large shipbuilding industry the yard of Armstrong Whitworth at High Walker, but this has declined over the past 50 years and the area has suffered as a result, with many jobs being taken away from the community.

From 1809 to 1883, Walker was home to an iron-making company, Losh and Bell. Walkerville was developed as a model housing exhibition along the lines of the Garden city movement held under the auspices of the National Housing Reform Council in 1908 and is an early example of small-scale town planning prior to the Housing, Town Planning, &c. Act 1909. One of the prime campaigners behind the exhibition was Councillor David Adams, who became an MP and Lord Mayor of Newcastle; the chosen site was Corporation estate and the Gold medal for the horseshoe layout of the site was awarded to Watson and Scott of Newcastle. The exhibition was of a range of'model cottages' for working people of different types from two to three bedrooms, by different architects and backed by a range of patrons including Wallsend Cooperative Society, at that time a provider of mortgage capital for its members. Newcastle Corporation built homes as part of the exhibition; the Gold medal winning architects were AT Martindale, White & Stephenson, Edward Cratney and TE Davidson.

David Adams described the planning and development of the Walker and Willington estates in a series of articles for the Northern Echo. Speaking Walker is an area between Welbeck Road and the banks of the River Tyne, although the modern city ward of Walker incorporates Pottery Bank and St Anthony's; when most Geordies refer to Walker they incorporate the areas of Daisy Hill and Eastfield. Walkergate, located between Welbeck Road and the Network rail line are sometimes considered parts of Walker. Other parts of Walker are Walkerville. Other areas included are Daisy Eastfield which help make up the city Ward of Walkergate; the area is notable for Walker Park, the Walker Riverside Park, the Lady Stephenson Library as well as the Lightfoot Sports Centre, set to undergo a £2.5m refurbishment. Alderman Sir William Haswell Stephenson, built the library in 1908 in memory of his wife Eliza, who died in 1901; the library closed on 29 June 2013 and contents have been relocated into a purpose built area within Walker Activity Dome in July 2013.

Walker Park received a Green Flag Award in 2019. Walker is served by the Tyne and Wear Metro, with a station at Walkergate, has a main bus terminus on Walker Road, although this is quite dilapidated and badly serviced. Most children attend a local primary school, These are St Anthony's CE, St Vincent's RC, Welbeck Academy, West Walker and Wharrier Street; the two main Secondary Schools which service the area are Benfield School, a specialist Sports College, Walker Riverside Academy, a high performing specialist technology and visual arts school for 11- to 18-year-olds. Newcastle City Council's Walker Riverside regeneration scheme launched in 2003 aims to revitalise the area with new houses, schools and community facilities, environmental improvements, a new neighbourhood centre to be known as the Heart of Walker; the scheme has its own newsletter known as the "Walker Eye", which goes to 7,000 homes and businesses locally. Much of the older and run-down housing stock along Walker Road is in the process of being demolished and replaced with new homes which are a mixture of council and private housing.

The stated aim was to build 1,600 new and replacement homes over a 15-year period. As part of the new Heart of Walker development, plans have been unveiled to open a new state-of-the-art primary school on a site next door to the redeveloped Lightfoot Centre, where the old Wharrier Street Primary School was; the £7.5m project merged Wharrier Street and St Anthony's Primary Schools in Autumn 2012 to create the new Central Walker Church of England Primary. Plans for the area's regeneration were approved by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Ruth Kelly. In August 2018 it was announced that two high-rise blocks, Titan House and Hexham House were to be demolished; the flats and neighbouring Church Walk shopping centre will be replaced by a new housing development and shops.
