Salterforth is a village and civil parish within the Pendle borough of Lancashire, England. It lies on the B6383 road that connects Barnoldswick to the A56 road at Kelbrook. The Leeds-Liverpool Canal cuts through the village and there are several narrowboat moorings at Salterforth. The canal footpath provides a picturesque walk to Barnoldswick or to Foulridge in the opposite direction.

Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Salterforth used to be within the Skipton Rural District until 1974. Some of the local area is referred to as West Craven alluding to Salterforth's cultural links to the Craven area of North Yorkshire.

Other local towns and villages are; Barnoldswick - a mile north west, Kelbrook - 2 miles east, Earby - 2 miles north east, Thornton in Craven 3 miles north east, Foulridge - 2 miles south and Colne 3½ miles south.
