Billinge (from 1927 Billinge and Winstanley) was, from 1894 to 1974, a local government district in the administrative county of Lancashire, England.

The Billinge urban district was created in 1894 by the Local Government Act 1894, consisting of the parishes of Billinge Chapel End, Billinge Higher End and Winstanley.
