Cullingworth is now a civil parish and a village in the City of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. Prior to 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is west of Bradford and south of Keighley. The surrounding countryside is mainly used for sheep and cattle farming, with areas of moorland lying to the north and west.

The village has undergone expansion in recent years, including a new primary school and housing estates. Cullingworth is now a popular commuter settlement serving the nearby towns of Keighley, Bradford and Halifax. The village had a population of 2,932 at the 2011 Census.

Cullingworth was situated in Bingley Urban District until being absorbed by Bradford Metropolitan Borough in 1974.
