Sedgley Park is a residential neighbourhood to the north of Salford and Manchester in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury. Situated in the district of Prestwich, Sedgley Park is roughly bounded to the north by Scholes Lane, to the east by Bury Old Road and to the west by Bland Road/ George Street. The district has a large Jewish population, with a number of synagogues. There are many Jewish businesses, shops and delicatessens along Bury New Road, Kings Road and Bury Old Road. The housing is varied, but the vast amount of property dates from the 1920s and 1930s. Sedgley Park is also home to the Greater Manchester Police training headquarters.

There was once an actual park, located at the south-west of Bury Old Road and Scholes Lane. This has long since been developed with residential property.

Note that Sedgley Park is NOT the home of Sedgley Park R.U.F.C. - "The Tigers" , a rugby union team playing in National Division One, the second tier of the English rugby union leagues. The club has never actually played or been based in the Sedgley Park area and in fact has since the 1950s operated from Park Lane, Whitefield.
