Milnrow Urban District was, from 1894 to 1974, a local government district in the administrative county of Lancashire, England.
It covered a significant area to the east of Rochdale, and included Milnrow itself, and the village of New Hey and the surrounding countryside.
Crompton Urban District lay to the south.
Milnrow Urban District was created by the Local Government Act 1894, and was for the mostpart the successor to the township of Butterworth. In 1974, Milnrow Urban District was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972 and its former area transferred to Greater Manchester to form part of the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale.
