Rand Grange (#19 on map) is a civil parish in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England. It is a very small parish, consisting of a single farmhouse and surrounding fields and woodland, and is situated less than a mile north of the town of Bedale (#3). Its total area is 359 acres (145 hectares), and the population was estimated at 10 in 2015. The population taken at the 2011 UK census was also less than 100. In keeping with the policy of the UK Office for National Statistics, data for parishes of this size are included with that of a neighbouring civil parish, in this case, Crakehall (#8).

The farmhouse is a Grade II listed building, dating from the early 19th century.

Prior to the nationwide municipal reorganization of 1974, Rand Grange was part of Bedale Rural District. Historically, it was located in the ancient and ecclesiastical parish of Bedale in the wapentake of Hang East.
