Copley is a village in the county of West Yorkshire, England, south of Halifax and east of Sowerby Bridge, by the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation.
It is the site of a community predating Sir Titus Salt's Saltaire near Bradford. Beginning in 1849, Colonel Edward Akroyd, a woollen mill owner, built a mill with decent houses for the workforce, as well as a canteen, a school, a library and a church.
