Baguley (/ˈbæɡəli/ BAG-əl-ee) is an area and electoral ward of the city of Manchester, in Greater Manchester, England. The population at the 2011 census was 14,794.
The name Baguley is derived from the Old English words bagga (badger, or possibly referring simply to any woodland or hill-inhabiting wild animal) and lēah (clearing or meadow).
