Teesdale Business Park is a major business park on the former site of Head Wrightsons' Teesdale works in Thornaby-on-Tees in the borough of and Ceremonial County of North Yorkshire, England. The park was redeveloped by the Teesside Development Corporation. The area is immediately north of Thornaby railway station, bounded by the River Tees and the Tees Valley Line (railway line). It is a short distance from town centre and is connected to Stockton via the , Teesquay Millennium Bridge footbridge, Princess of Wales Bridge and Infinity Bridge footbridge.
The area consists of the following buildings, businesses and organisations.
In 1987, after Head Wrightsons' Teesdale Works closed and the site had been cleared, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher visited the site as part of her visit to Teesside to open the Teesside Development Corporation and made what has been poignantly termed her "Walk in the Wilderness".
