Barclose is a hamlet in Cumbria, England.[1] It is in the civil parish of Scaleby[2] in the unitary authority area of Cumberland. It was in City of Carlisle district prior to 1 April 2023.

The placename "Barclose" existed in the parish at least as early as 1642.[3]

A pub called "The Heilk Moon" at Barclose was part of the Carlisle State Management Scheme in 1920,[4] and was open until at least 1984 (when the Heild Moon Leek Club, now based elsewhere, was founded).[5]
