Birks Fell is a Marilyn in the Yorkshire Dales, near to Hubberholme in North Yorkshire, England. Birks Fell only became an official Marilyn in 2006 as it was resurveyed and discovered to be 610 m and not 608 m as previously thought. This raises it above neighbouring Horse Head Moor (609 m), making it the Marilyn in place of Horse Head Moor.
