Rastrick is a town in the county of West Yorkshire, England, near Halifax. It is perhaps best known for its association, along with its neighbour Brighouse, with the Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band. Legally, along with Brighouse, it is part of Calderdale, but shares a Huddersfield postcode and phone number.

The village is on a north-facing incline, the dubious "Top o' Town", as known by locals, referring the the Parish Church area, is vertically in the middle, and to the North East.

Remains of a Roman fort have been found at Castle Hill, just below Top o' Town.

Rastrick's "boundaries" are generally considered to be the A643, the M62 motorway and the A629 bypass.

Firsby Hall is nearby.
