Huncoat is a ward and village on the eastern edge of Accrington within the borough of Hyndburn in Lancashire, England. It sits on the East Lancashire Line with a small local station and is close to the M65, making it a convenient place for commuters heading to nearby centres such as Blackburn and Burnley.
