Mungrisdale is a small village and civil parish in the north east of the English Lake District in Cumbria. It is also the name of the valley in which the village sits.

Mungrisdale has no local amenities except for the Grade II* listed St Kentigern's Church built in 1756, a village hall and a pub, the Mill Inn.
