Heaton Norris is a suburban area of Stockport, in Greater Manchester, England. It is a constituent part of the Four Heatons, and thus neighbours Heaton Chapel, Heaton Mersey and Heaton Moor. Formerly Heaton Norris was a parish of Lancashire, which spanned the whole of the Four Heatons.
In 1835 part of the parish of Heaton Norris was annexed to neighbouring Stockport in Cheshire; Heaton Chapel and Heaton Moor remained in Lancashire, but further territory was ceded in 1894 and the remnant in 1913.

“The spectacle of misery grew in its crushing volume. There seemed to be no end to the houses full of hunted starved children. Children with dysentery, children with scurvy, children at every stage of starvation.... We learned to know that the barometer of starvation was the number of children deserted in any community.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
“Silence is the best response to mystery.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
