Hollingworth is a village in the Tameside district, in Greater Manchester, England. It is about 11 miles (19 km) east of Manchester, on the Derbyshire border near Hadfield. It lies within the historic county boundaries of Cheshire, and became part of Greater Manchester in 1974. It gave its name to a family who owned much of the surrounding area from before the time of the Norman conquest.
