Kirklinton is a village in the Cumberland district, in the English county of Cumbria.

The population of the civil parish of Kirklinton Middle, taken at the 2011 census was 384.

The village lies near the boundary between the civil parishes of Kirklinton Middle and Hethersgill, so that while the church is in the former the adjacent vicarage is in the latter.

[2][3] Two miles north of the village, Brackenhill Tower is a restored pele tower, built in 1584 and little altered externally.

[4] The Grade II listed Kirklinton Hall outside the village has been a ruin which lay derelict for 40 years.
