White Moss is an area lying on the common borders of the City of Manchester and the towns of Middleton and Chadderton in Greater Manchester.

It is an extensive area of former wetlands and farms that lies predominantly in the Charlestown ward in the north of the city, on the historic border of Moston and Blackley.^[1] The Manchester Creative and Media Academy lies in this area.

Bisected by the M60 motorway and the arterial road Victoria Avenue from east to west, the part of White Moss north of the motorway lies partially in both Alkrington in the town of Middleton and Chadderton (bordering Greengate).^[2]

Blackley Golf Club is located in this part of White Moss.
