Fingland is a hamlet in the Cumberland district, in the county of Cumbria, England. Fingland is located on the B5307 road in between the villages of Kirkbride and Kirkbampton. In 1870-72 the township had a population of 219.[1] There is a farm called Fingland Rigg nearby, which gives its name to Finglandrigg Woods National Nature Reserve.

It was called Thingland in the Middle Ages (Thingland in 1279) meaning "place of the a Scandinavian ting, assembly". There is a similar place-name in Normandy near Jobourg (Cotentin) : le Tingland.
