Swinton and Pendlebury was a local government district in the administrative county of Lancashire, England. It was created in 1894 as an urban district and enlarged in 1934, gaining the status of municipal borough.

Constituent Civil Parishes

It was created as an urban district in 1894 by the Local Government Act 1894, consisting of the civil parishes of Swinton and Pendlebury. When Barton upon Irwell Rural District was abolished in 1933 the Swinton and Pendlebury gained part of the Clifton parish (an area of 1,052 acres).

The municipal borough was abolished in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972. Its former area was used to form part of the present-day City of Salford metropolitan borough in the Greater Manchester metropolitan county. The former Swinton and Pendlebury town hall is currently used by Salford City Council as the "Salford Civic Centre".
