Springhead is a suburban area of Saddleworth, a civil parish of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, England.
Situated along the eastern edge of the Greater Manchester Urban Area, Springhead is contiguous with the village of Lees, the Oldham districts of Greenacres and Waterhead, and Austerlands and Grotton areas of Saddleworth.
Springhead once formed its own urban district, within the West Riding of Yorkshire, and was the birth place of prominent suffragette, Annie Kenney.
Springhead got its name from a building in the village called Springhead House. In the back garden of the house was a spring and they named Springhead after that house.
