Denholme is a town and civil parish in the Bradford Metropolitan Borough, West Yorkshire, England.

However, an alternative suggestion of the word "Holme", in old Viking Danelaw, would be that of reclaimed marshland (or an "island" in a wet area)[3] and Den or Denu, in Old English, means Valley.

The town sits astride the old Roman Road from Manchester (Mamucium or Mancunium) to Ilkley (Olicana) though there is no evidence of any settlement then.

It was common in Victorian England for wealthy businessmen to build entire towns to house the workers of their mills.

Recent years have seen the closure of the bulk of the remaining manufacturing industry in the town, including specialised textiles, joinery and constructional timber.

Whilst there are still employment opportunities in the shops, schools and other town services, or on the surrounding farms, the majority of working residents now commute to Bradford, Keighley, Halifax or Leeds.

Foster Park houses a youth cafe, skate area, basketball court, bowling green and the town War Memorial.

Just to the east of Denholme is Doe Park Reservoir where there is fishing, a water activities centre and a sailing club.

The town is on regular bus routes between Keighley and Bradford and with occasional services to Halifax.
