Old Boston was a colliery in Haydock, Lancashire, England.
The colliery was closed, due to an underground fire. The site of the colliery was then used for many years as a training centre for National Coal Board employees. The site of the colliery and training centre is now Old Boston Trading estate, located adjacent to the A580 East Lancashire road.
