Staveley-in-Cartmel is a small village and civil parish in South Lakeland district, Cumbria, England. It lies east of Newby Bridge, near the south end of Windermere, 9 miles (14 km) northeast of Ulverston. It is sometimes known as Staveley-in-Furness. Both names distinguish it from another Staveley in Cumbria.
Historically, the village lay in the county of Lancashire. When local government underwent reorganisation in 1974 it was named "in Cartmel" to distinguish it from the other Staveley in Cumbria, which is also called Staveley-in-Westmorland or Staveley-in-Kendal to ensure that they are differentiated. It gives its name to an electoral ward which elects one councillor to South Lakeland district council, and the village has a parish council.
In 1831, Samuel Lewis noted that it contained 350 inhabitants, saying "the living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Richmond, and Diocese of Chester, endowed with £800 royal bounty, and in the patronage of Lord G. Cavendish."John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870–72) states the population at the time to have been 409 people living in 76 houses and covering 2,480 acres, and that the manor belonged to the Duke of Devonshire.
An electoral ward in the same name exists. The wards stretches south to Field Broughton and has a total population taken from the 2011 Census of 1,991. There is a parish council.
