Huyton with Roby is a civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley, England, lying just east of Liverpool. It comprises the town of Huyton and the smaller village of Roby, and benefits from good transport connections - notably Huyton railway station on the Liverpool–Manchester line and motorway access via the M62 - which make it a popular commuter area.
Historically part of Lancashire with medieval roots, the area grew rapidly after the coming of the railway and through 20th‑century and post‑war suburban expansion. Today it is largely residential with local retail and light industry, community facilities and pockets of older village character around Roby. The parish sits within a borough known for attractions such as Knowsley Safari Park and Knowsley Hall, and has seen various regeneration projects aimed at improving housing and services in recent decades.
