Haughton Green is a large village in Tameside, Greater Manchester, England. It formed part of the ancient township of Haughton, Lancashire, along with Haughton Dale, Higher Haughton, Lower Haughton, Haughton Hall and Haughton itself.

Originally, farming was the main occupation but the discovery of rich deposits of coal brought mining to the area. The soil was not particularly productive and farmers in both Haughton and Denton supplemented their incomes by making felt hats and this industry ultimately dominated the area and made Denton famous for this industry rather than the more usual industries of cotton spinning and weaving.

In 1894 Haughton and Denton were formally merged into a single town and became the Denton Urban District. On 1st April 1974, Denton, became part of the Tameside Metropolitan Borough in the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester, England.

Haughton Green is mainly a residential area that has roughly 3,000 households. Many of the shops and services are located on the main road of the old village, Haughton Green Road, which includes a post office and many other shops.

Haughton Green was mainly a rural area, with most of its built up areas along the main roads and in the original village. It was only at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century that it became more built up and became more so when the Manchester (Beswick) overspill estate was located here in the late fifties behind existing housing on Two Trees Lane. There was also building of new middle class housing in and around the original village at the same time. This increased the size of the village significantly as housing here now extended down into the valley and next to wooded areas.

The village now forms part of the Denton South Ward on Tameside Council and the three local councillors are Margaret Downs, Andrew Doubleday and Walter Downs. Andrew Gwynne is the Member of Parliament for Haughton Green, which is a part of the Denton and Reddish Parliamentary Constituency. Other nearby overspill council estates are Hattersley and Gamesley.
