Cubeck is a hamlet in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is near Thornton Rust and Worton and in the civil parish of Bainbridge.[1] Metcalfe suggests the name derives from the Old English cu, and the Old Norse bekkr, meaning cow stream.[2]

From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Richmondshire, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
