Cleator Moor is a town, civil parish and two electoral wards (north and south) in the English county of Cumbria and within the boundaries of the historic county of Cumberland. The parish had a population of 6,939 in the 2001 census, decreasing slightly to 6,936 at the 2011 census.

The town's skyline is dominated by Dent Fell and the town is located on the Coast to Coast Walk that spans Northern England. On the outskirts of the town of Cleator Moor lies the village of Cleator with which the town is closely associated. As a settlement of note, it was substantially populated by immigrants from the North Eastern counties of Ireland in the latter half of the nineteenth century, leading to the colloquial title of Little Ireland.
