The Coniston Group is a Silurian lithostratigraphic group (a sequence of rock strata) in the southern Lake District and north-west Pennines of northern England.

The name is derived from the small town of Coniston in Cumbria.

The group comprises sandstones and siltstones and some laminated hemipelagites which achieve a thickness of between 1400 and 1900m.

These are, in ascending order (oldest first): Wray Castle, Gawthwaite, Latrigg, Poolscar, Moorhow (or Moorhowe) and Yewbank.
