Weasdale Beck is a stream in Westmorland, in the south of the county, running northwards off the Howgill Fells. It is one of the two main headwaters of the River Lune.

The beck rises in Ravenstonedale, within the Howgill Fells, and drains such slopes as Leathgill Bridge on Randygill Top and Great Swindale, below Green Bell. It flows northwards to the head of a dale at Wath, and here at its confluence with Sandwath Beck, the two streams form the River Lune. The Lune then takes its waters westward along the dale.
