Liversedge is a village in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England. It is part of the Leeds-Bradford conurbation. Liversedge lies between Cleckheaton and Heckmondwike about 14 miles to the south west of Leeds.

In the 15th Century the Lord of the manor was a member of the Neville family. At that time the manor of Liversedge was already involved in the rapidly advancing English woollen manufacture. This trade grew with the centuries and by the 19th century it was very busy in the manufacture of woollen goods. In 1812 it was the scene of a Luddite riot at Rawfolds Mill when the local weavers attacked Edmund Cartwright who was in the process of developing his new power loom. See the entry on Cleckheaton for more details.

Liversedge has a church built at the time of the Battle of Waterloo. Nearby Healds Hall is now a hotel and was at one time the Spenborough Museum. In the days of Charlotte Bronte it was home to Hammond Roberson who she transformed into the Reverend Matthewman Helstone in her novel Shirley.
