Catterlen is a small village in Cumberland, three miles north-west of Penrith.

The village is a linear one with the B5305 road dividing it into two. Junction 41 of the M6 motorway is at Catterlen.

The wider civil parish of Catterlen also includes the slightly more populous village of Newton Reigny.

The manor house of the village is Catterlen Hall, which was once a pele tower. It stands between Catterlen and Newton Reigny, closer to the latter.

Part of the Yorkshire-based Askham Bryan College is found within the parish, known as Newton Rigg College.
