Howick Cross is a small hamlet in Lancashire, England. The hamlet is predominantly made up of a small community, a primary school, various farms and an electrical substation. It is located near the village of Hutton.

The name Howick, although not shown on the Ordnance Survey map, is sometimes used, as in the names of Howick C E School,^[2] the Hutton and Howick Women's Institute (the oldest in Lancashire, founded by suffragette Edith Rigby)^[3] and the former railway station.

Other nearby communities include the village of New Longton and the town of Penwortham. The community had a population of 354 people in 2001.^[4]

Hutton and Howick railway station opened on 1 December 1897, on the Preston to Southport railway line. It was renamed New Longton and Hutton on 3 November 1934 and closed, along with the line, on 7 September 1964.^[5]
