Crossflatts is a ribbon development village in Airedale, along the old route of the A650 road between Bingley and Keighley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

The opening of the Aire Valley Trunk road in 2004 has seen a reduction of 51% of traffic through the village.

The village is served by Crossflatts railway station on the Airedale Line connecting Skipton with Bradford and Leeds. This small village adjoins Bingley at the famous Five Rise Locks.
