Blackridge (Scots: Blackrig,[2][3] Scottish Gaelic: An Druim Dubh)[4] is a small town in the western part of West Lothian, Scotland.

The village grew from a population of under 200 to over 2,000 by World War I with coal mining and whinstone quarrying the main employments – the area was served by Westcraigs railway station.

The last colliery and the railway station closed in the late 1950s and Blackridge became a dormitory for nearby towns with, for much of the 1960s and 1970s, the British Leyland truck and tractor assembly plant at Bathgate the principal employer.

In 2010, a new Blackridge railway station was opened on the site of Westrigg colliery, offering a rail link to both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Blackridge was the birthplace of the late Sir Peter Matthews, who retired as Chief Constable of Surrey Police, born on 25 December 1917.
