Cartmel Fell is a hill, hamlet and civil parish in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England. The parish has a population of 309.

St. Anthony's Church was built as a chapel of ease for Cartmel Priory in about 1504, and has changed little since. It contains some 17th century box pews and a rare three-decker pulpit of 1698 as well as stained glass which may have come from Cartmel Priory.[1]

A mile to the north-east, Cowmire Hall incorporates a 16th century pele tower, whilst the main block of the house dates from the 17th century.[2]
