Silverdale is a suburban town and civil parish in Staffordshire, west of Newcastle-under-Lyme. It was part of Newcastle-under-Lyme Municipal Borough from 1932 and part of Newcastle-under-Lyme District since 1974.

Historically the village has been dominated by the coal industry and records indicate coal was mined in the area as long ago as the 13th century. The last colliery, Silverdale, closed in 1998.

In 1894 Silverdale became part of Wolstanton Rural District. The district was abolished in 1904 at which point the parish of Wolstanton, together with the parishes of Silverdale and Chesterton became Wolstanton United Urban District. In 1932 Wolstanton United Urban District was merged into Newcastle-under-Lyme municipal borough. The borough became the hub of Newcastle-under-Lyme District in 1974.
