Huyton with Roby Urban District was a local government district in Lancashire, England, from 1894 to 1974. [1] It consisted of the civil parish of Huyton with Roby which comprised the settlements of Huyton and Roby. [2] It replaced the Huyton with Roby urban sanitary district.

In 1974 it was abolished and its former area was transferred to Merseyside, [3] to be combined with Kirkby Urban District, Prescot Urban District, parts of Whiston Rural District and parts of West Lancashire Rural District to form the present-day Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley.
