Great Preston is a small village in the metropolitan borough of the City of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, lying roughly eight miles east of Leeds city centre and close to the neighbouring settlements of Kippax and Garforth.
Historically an agricultural settlement with ties to the coalfield that shaped the wider area, Great Preston is now largely residential and popular with commuters to Leeds. It retains village character through surrounding farmland, local amenities such as a school and village hall, and a strong community that stages occasional local events.
