Coupland is a village in Northumberland, England. It is on the north bank of the River Glen about 4 miles (6 km) to the northwest of Wooler.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Coupland from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "COPELAND-CASTLE, an old seat in the north of Northumberland; on the river Glen, 4¼ miles NW of Wooler. It succeeded an older seat, which belonged to John de Copeland who took David II [of Scotland] prisoner; and it was built, in 1614, by the Wallaces; and passed to the Ogles."
Coupland was a township in the ancient parish of Kirknewton and became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1974 the parish was part of Glendale Rural District. In 1955 the civil parish was abolished and the area was split between the parishes of Ewart and Kirknewton.
