Wrightington Hospital is a health facility in Wrightington, Lancashire, England. It is managed by the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust.
The facility was built as a private house known as Wrightington Hall, which was completed in 1748 and extended in 1860. In 1918 the building was acquired for £16,473 by Lancashire County Council, who converted it, for the cost of £129,520, into a hospital. It officially opened as a facility for the treatment of tuberculosis on 16 June 1933. After the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948, it specialised in hip and orthopedic surgery and rheumatology. This work was led by Sir John Charnley who pioneered the hip replacement operation and created the "Wrightington centre for hip surgery."
