Edgworth is a small village in the civil parish of North Turton, in the borough of Blackburn with Darwen, Lancashire, England.

Edgworth is of Anglo-Saxon origin, denoting a village in the hills and has had many spellings, from 'Eggwrthe' in 1212, Egewurth in 1221, and in 1277 Eggeswrth and Edgeword and Eggeworth in the year 1292.

[2] Five small hamlets also make up the area of the village – Quarlton, Turton Bottoms at the south-east point, with Entwistle, Round Barn and Whittlestone Head to the west.

Most industry has now left the area and since the 1970s a number of suburban housing developments have expanded the core of the village.

The industrialist James Barlow (1821–87) funded the new Methodist Church, opened in 1863, and the children's home at Crowthorn.

The Barlow Institute was built in 1909 and then consisted of a village hall, coffee bar, library and recreation grounds.
