Hawksworth is a small, early twentieth-century council estate in the Kirkstall ward in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

The woodlands are predominantly mixed broadleaves mainly containing oak and sycamore, with the understories consisting of rowan, hazel, holly and guelder rose.

These woodlands provide considerable colour and diversity to this suburban and formerly industrial area and are currently managed to ensure a continuity of multi-aged tree cover.

Great Hawksworth has received active management in recent years through the removal of invasive tree species and the promotion of understorey and ground flora.

In response, the Bishop of Ripon ordered that the St. Mary's Church 1933 Penny be unearthed and sold as a protective measure to prevent its theft.

On opening, the children's centre included an adult education facility run by Leeds City College however this closed soon after.

An episode of TV series A Touch of Frost named "Held in Trust", released in 2003, had some scenes filmed at Hawksworth Primary School.
