Wark on Tweed (usually referred to simply as Wark) is a village in the English county of Northumberland. It lies about 15 miles (24 km) south west of Berwick-upon-Tweed.
It is on the south bank of the River Tweed that can be considered the border between England and Scotland.
The ruins of Wark on Tweed Castle, originally an early 12th century motte-and-bailey, lie at the west end of the village.
