Mirfield (/ˈmɜːrfiːld/) is a town and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England.

From 1894 to 1974, Mirfield was an urban district in the West Riding of Yorkshire until it was merged into the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees.

In 1988 a parish council was formed, one of five in Kirklees, the others being:- Denby Dale, Meltham, Kirkburton and Holme Valley.

[5] Local residents introduced the Mirfield Food & Craft Fayre in April 2012,[6] scheduled to be run the last Saturday of each month and "help raise the profile of Mirfield, be a benefit to local traders, businesses, organisations and charities, and add more destination events to the Yorkshire calendar".

A new church, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, was built a few yards to the northwest, on the site of Castle Hall, a mansion then home to the families of Mirfields (sometimes spelled Mirfin), Hetons and Beaumonts.

Mirfield is the base of the Safe Anchor Trust, a charity founded in 1995 to provide canal boat trips for vulnerable and special needs people.

[14] There are many national businesses based in Mirfield including John Cotton Group Ltd, Furniture And Choice and We Buy Any Stairlift.

[17][18] The town has a variety of local independent shops as well as national chains such as Lidl, Tesco and Co-op Food.
