Walshaw is a village to the south of Tottington and 2 miles northwest of Bury in Greater Manchester, England.

The village has a school, a post office, several pubs and a restaurant. It lies around the top of Walshaw Road and the memorial cross and three radiating streets slightly to the North. One third of the centre of the village is taken up by Christ Church Primary School, which is linked to the Anglican Church on High Street.

It features a telephone box which was once used by Robert De Niro when he was in the country making the film Brazil in 1985.
