Norden is a village in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. It is situated on the western edge of the town of Rochdale.

As a result of changes to boundaries, Norden ward is divided between Heywood and Middleton and Rochdale constituencies, represented in Parliament by Jim Dobbin (of the Labour Party) and Paul Rowen (of the Liberal Democrats), respectively.[1] The majority of the ward's population is in Heywood and Middleton constituency, which the remainder of the ward is expected to be transferred to.[2]

The main road through the village is the A680 Edenfield Road, which runs from Rochdale town centre to the village of Edenfield in Lancashire.

Norden is the home of Norden Cricket Club, who play in the Central Lancashire League.
