Haverigg, a village on the south-west coast of Cumbria, England. Historically part of Cumberland, it forms part of the local government district of Copeland.

The name Haverigg derives from the Old Norse and can be translated as ‘the hill where oats are grown’. Haverigg has an extensive, quiet Blue Flag beach. It also has a restored lighthouse and is close to the Hodbarrow RSPB Nature Reserve on the edge of Hodbarrow Lagoon. Nearby is the internationally renowned Duddon Estuary.

The village is also home to Haverigg Prison, a low security prison for males from all over the North West of England.
