Osgoldcross Rural District was a rural district in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was created in 1938, from 19 remaining parishes of the disbanded Pontefract Rural District after three-quarters of its population (but only a small fraction of the area) had been transferred to surrounding authorities - specifically to Castleford (which took 14,145 of the 23,981 in the district in 1931), Knottingley, and Pontefract. It was named after the Wapentake of Osgoldcross and administered from Pontefract. Since 1 April 1974, it has formed part of the District of Selby and the City of Wakefield.
