Padiham (/ˈpædiəm/ PAD-i-əm) is a town and civil parish on the River Calder, about three miles (5 km) west of Burnley, Lancashire, England. It forms part of the Borough of Burnley. Originally by the River Calder, it is edged by the foothills of Pendle Hill to the north-west and north-east.

Padiham, though a name of Anglo-Saxon origin, is not recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book. The first record, as Padyngham, dates from 1294. It remained for centuries as a market town, where produce from Pendleside was bought and sold. The town expanded and was redeveloped during the Industrial Revolution. The centre is now a conservation area. More information...
