Ladner was created as a fishing village on the banks of the Fraser River. It is now part of the Municipality of Delta, British Columbia, Canada, and a suburb of Vancouver.

Named for one of the founding families, it developed as a center for farming and fishing. The ferry at Captain's Cove allowed for access across the river to Richmond, British Columbia. The George Massey Tunnel provided a permanent connection in 1959.

Ladner Trunk Road, the major east-west artery, bisects the community and runs eastward into the Fraser Valley.

Ladner is the location of the Municpal Hall and the Delta Hospital. The area is served by the Delta School District. Schools include Delta Secondary School and numerous elementary schools.

Paired together with its suburban neighbour to the south, Tsawwassen, these two communities make up the unofficial region known as "South Delta ".
