Linthwaite (known as Linfit in the local community)[1] is a village in the Kirklees district, in West Yorkshire, England.

Blackmoorfoot Reservoir, at the top of Gilroyd Lane, is a wintering site for migrating wildfowl and wading birds.

In sport the village has two teams in the Huddersfield District Cricket League: Broad Oak (near the church) won the 2023 Sykes Cup and Linthwaite (in the valley).

The largest employer in the village is pharmaceutical drug manufacturer Thornton & Ross, the producer of Covonia cough medicine.

The company, which was founded by Nathan Thornton and Phillip Ross in 1922, was acquired by STADA Arzneimittel in a £221 million deal in August 2013.
