Blackfriars is a small inner-city area of Salford, England situated along the River Irwell between Manchester City Centre and Broughton. Blackfriars contains Blackfriars Park, one of Salford's smaller parks[1] and is home to the Friars Primary School[2].

Due to slum clearance very few buildings in Blackfriars now predate the 1960s. One notable exception is the 1871 Broughton Tavern[3] on Blackfriars Road, which has now been converted into homes for shared ownership.
