Calverley is a village in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England, on the A657 road, about ten miles (16 km) from Leeds city centre and four miles (7 km) from Bradford, and lying north of the town of Pudsey.

The name comes from the Old English words calfra, the genitive plural of calf ('calf'), and lēah ('open ground in woodland').

It was meant to be part of a scheme to develop the area for luxurious residential purposes which, however, failed.

In 1894 Calverley Urban District was formed and on 1 April 1937 it was abolished and merged into the Municipal Borough of Pudsey,[11] where it remained until its abolition in 1974.
