Burgh by Sands (/ˈbrʌf/ ⓘ) is a village and civil parish in the Cumberland unitary authority area of Cumbria, England, situated near the Solway Firth.

The parish includes the village of Burgh by Sands along with Longburgh, Dykesfield, Boustead Hill, Moorhouse and Thurstonfield.

It is notable as the site of the first recorded North African (Mauri) military unit in Roman Britain, garrisoning the frontier fort of Aballava on Hadrian's Wall in the 3rd century AD.

King Edward I, while on his way to war against the Scots, died of dysentery on the marshes near Burgh,[8] and his corpse lay in state at the village's 12th-century church until its eventual removal to Westminster Abbey.

It has a broad west tower with a base dating from the mid-14th century (first built in 1360)[10] and apart from the 19th-century north aisle windows, the rest is Early English.

The church is remarkable for having had two defensive towers, one at each end, a measure of the perceived threat from Scottish raiders.
