Northgate is a neighbourhood within the town of Crawley in West Sussex, England, and includes the town centre. Northgate is bordered by West Green to the west, Langley Green to the north, Three Bridges to the east and Southgate to the south.
Before the arrival of the New Town, Northgate was associated with the area around the Northgate Toll House located on the London to Brighton road as you entered the town from the North.
In the development of the New Town in the 1950s Northgate was the second neighbourhood estate to be built on fields to the north-east of the town.
The town centre was also included in the Northgate neighbourhood including the main shopping area of Crawley and the rail and bus stations as was the Manor Royal Industrial Estate to the north of the town and south of Gatwick Airport.
