Smallthorne Urban District was an urban district in Staffordshire. It was initially formed of the Smallthorne civil parish. In 1904, on the abolition of Wolstanton Rural District, the civil parishes of Chell and Milton were added. The urban district was abolished in 1922 with the bulk of it becoming part of the county borough of Stoke-on-Trent.

Smallthorne included the following hamlets and villages: Bradley-in-the-Moors, part of Norton-in-the-Moors, and the hamlets of Ball Green, Fegg Hayes, Brindley Ford and Abbey Hulton, all of which have been redirected here.
