Harwood is a small settlement to the north-northeast of Bolton, Greater Manchester, bordering Bury in North West England.

Originally a small village within the former Turton Urban District, but now a small part of the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton. Harwood is mostly residential, with the few businesses concentrated around a Morrisons supermarket at its centre. Neighbouring districts include Affetside, Bradshaw and Breightmet.

It is served by the 507 and 506 buses from Bolton. On schooldays, the 480 runs in the morning and the afternoon between Canon Slade HS and Bury. The nearest railway station is located at Bromley Cross. Primary schools in the area are St Maxentius, Harwood Meadows, Hardy Mill, St Brendan's and the now-closed Longsight and Christ's Church. The popular secondary school for residents of Harwood is Turton High School in Bromley Cross, though both Canon Slade and Withins are nearby.

Harwood has several public houses; (The House Without A Name, the Seven Stars, The Grey Mare, The Old School House and the White Horse) two restaurants; (The Old School House, serving traditional English food, and Baci's, specialising in Italian Cuisine) a doctor's surgery and a park (Longsight Park, though there is a small recreational ground for children off Recreation Street).
