Putteridge is a suburb at the north-eastern edge of Luton, in Bedfordshire, England. Putteridge is a little over 2 miles (3.2 km) from Luton town centre and bordered by Central Bedfordshire district to the north and North Hertfordshire district to the east. Wigmore Lane and Hayling Drive form the southern boundary and Cannon Lane and Stapleford Road the western.

Many of Putteridge's houses were built in the 1930s by Janes Builders of Luton. The area is home to one of Luton's cemeteries, The Vale. The University of Bedfordshire's Putteridge Bury Campus is just over the border in Hertfordshire.

The area is surrounded by green space including Butterfield Green, a new industrial development currently being built. This is hoped to help boost the local economy of the area and Luton as a whole.

Putteridge Primary School and Putteridge High School serve the local areas including Stopsley, Round Green and Wigmore.

The house at Putteridge Bury was built in the style of Chequers by architects Sir Ernest George and Alfred Yeats and was completed in 1911. The grounds were designed by Edwin L Lutyens with advice from Gertrude Jekyll.

The area of Putteridge is part of the Stopsley and Wigmore wards, which form part of the parliamentary constituency of Luton South and the MP is Rachel Hopkins (Labour).
