The Cumbria Coastal Way (CCW) is a long-distance footpath in Cumbria in northern England, following the coast from Silverdale, just over the Lancashire border, to just north of the Anglo-Scottish border. It is now part of the England Coast Path.

The Long Distance Walkers Association reports, {{as of|lc=yes|2022}}, that "The route is no longer marked on OS maps and is not endorsed by Cumbria County Council; some permissive paths no longer have access rights so diversions are necessary in places."{{cite web |last1= |first1= |title=Cumbria Coastal Way |url=https://ldwa.org.uk/ldp/members/show_path.php?path_name=cumbria+coastal+way |website=www.ldwa.org.uk |publisher=Long Distance Walkers Association |access-date=23 April 2022}}
