Cocklepark Tower is in the hamlet of Cockle Park, Northumberland, England some 4 miles (6 km) to the north of Morpeth.
This was a three-storied tower-house which was built in the 15th century as a hunting lodge. It was later extended by the addition of a domestic building. It was being used as a student's hospital until the mid–1970s at which time major structural problems became apparent. The University of Newcastle is planning to develop this building as part of the overall development of Cockle Park farm into the Centre for Renewable Energy from Land (CREEL).
Cockle Park Tower is a Grade 1 listed building.
