Greengate is an industrial district in the town of Chadderton in Greater Manchester.

It is located in the south west of Chadderton, close to the town's common borders with Middleton to the west and Moston in the City of Manchester which lies to the south.

For postal purposes Greengate lies in the Manchester postal district (M24, Middleton), though it remains a part of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham in the ward of Chadderton Central.[1][2]

British aircraft manufacturer Avro, later BAE Chadderton, built a factory at Greengate in 1938–39. It was one of the largest employers in the area.[3]
