Lydgate is a village Saddleworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It lies east of the spreading conurbation, but contiguous with Grasscroft.

The long Lydgate Tunnel emerges here, which used to carry the railway line beneath the hill to join the main line at Greenfield Station. While the main line is still open, the tunnel lies abandoned.
