Frizington is a village in Cumbria, England, historically part of Cumberland, near the Lake District National Park.

Historically, it was a collection of farms and houses, but became a unified village as a result of the mining (both coal and iron ore) opportunities in the area.

Frizington is within the Whitehaven and Workington UK Parliamentary constituency.

Frizington has its own Parish Council; Arlecdon & Frizington Parish Council, the civil parish of Arlecdon and Frizington, has a population of 3,678,[2] Stephen Holgate, a professional rugby league player with a number of clubs, came from Frizington.

On 2 June 2010, Frizington was the scene of the second murder in the killing spree known as the Cumbria shootings, when Derrick Bird shot his family solicitor, Kevin Commons.
