Turton Urban District was an urban district of Lancashire, England. It was formed in 1894 from the civil parish and ancient township of Turton. It was greatly enlarged in 1898 by the addition of the civil parishes of Belmont, Bradshaw, Harwood, Longworth, Entwistle, Edgworth and Quarlton.[1]

Under the Local Government Act 1972, Turton Urban District was abolished on 1 April 1974 and was divided in two. The larger rural area, North Turton, became a civil parish of the Borough of Blackburn in Lancashire. The smaller urban area, South Turton, became an unparished area of the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton in Greater Manchester.[2]
