Barrow-in-Furness is a local government district and borough in Cumbria, England. It is named after its main town, Barrow-in-Furness. Other settlements include Dalton-in-Furness, Roose and Askam-in-Furness.

The area covered by the district is at the edge of the Furness peninsula. It jolts into the Irish Sea, being north of Morecambe Bay and south of the Duddon Estuary. This area was historically part of Lancashire.

The current borough was formed on April 1, 1974 by the merger of the former county borough of Barrow-in-Furness, and Dalton-in-Furness.
