White Moss is a residential district in the City of Manchester.

It is an extensive area of former wetlands and farms that lies in the Charlestown ward in the north of the city, on the historical border of Moston and Blackley.[1]

Bissected by the M60 motorway and the arterial road Victoria Avenue from east to west, parts of White Moss north of the motorway lie in Alkrington and Chadderton (an area west of Greengate).[2]

Blackley Golf Club is located in this part of White Moss.
