Above Derwent is a civil parish in the Borough of Allerdale in Cumbria, England. It is bounded to the east by Derwent Water, the River Derwent and Crummock Water, and includes sections of both lakes. To the west and south, the parish is bounded by the summit of Lord's Seat, the Whinlatter Pass, the summits of Grisedale Pike and Crag Hill, the Newlands Pass, and the summits of Robinson and Catbells. It lies entirely within the Lake District National Park.
The parish thus comprises relatively low level land alongside and between both lakes, together with the Newlands Valley, and large areas of the surrounding fells. It includes the settlements of Braithwaite, Thornthwaite, Portinscale, Stair and Little Town.
The parish is within the Workington constituency of the United Kingdom Parliament, and the North West England constituency of the European Parliament. It has a population of 1,207 living in 516 households, decreasing at the 2011 Census to a population of 1,198 in 514 households.
