Offerton is a hamlet in the Sunderland district of Tyne and Wear, England.

It is situated about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Sunderland city centre.

Offerton was historically a township in the ancient parish of Houghton-le-Spring in County Durham.

[4] The urban district was in turn abolished seven years later in 1974, when the area was transferred to the enlarged district of Sunderland in the new metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear.

No successor parish was created for the former urban district and Offerton is therefore directly administered by Sunderland City Council.
