Cowcliffe is an area of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England.

It is situated between Fixby and Birkby based around Cowcliffe Hill Road. Cowcliffe is a discernible village, though the boundaries aren't clear and is somewhat isolated from the rest of Huddersfield - only two buses an hour go through the area, destined for either Brighouse and Huddersfield (First Huddersfield services 549), and there is a warning sign at the bottom of Cowcliffe Hill Road that they will not always make it to the top - indeed snow fall prevents it around once a year.

The area is home to a pub, St. Hilda's Parish Church, a shop, a park and a club. At the west border of the area is Huddersfield Golf Club, to the north is Fixby (the golf course is known locally as Fixby Golf Course), to the south and east are Birkby and Fartown.

The ITV drama series Where The Heart Is shot a small number scenes in Cowcliffe's park in 2002, not long after the park had had a facelift from Kirklees Metropolitan Council, who installed goalposts and a designated play area.

Notable former residents of Cowcliffe include the current Yeovil Town footballer Marcus Stewart and the now retired footballer Chris Marsden.
