Kirkandrews, also known as Kirkandrews on Esk to distinguish it from Kirkandrews-on-Eden, is a civil parish in the Cumberland district of Cumbria, England. The main settlement in the parish is the hamlet of Moat. The parish lies immediately south of the border with Scotland. In medieval times, Kirkandrews formed part of the Debatable Lands claimed by both England and Scotland. Following a treaty in 1552, the Debatable Lands were partitioned between the two countries, and Scots' Dike built to mark the agreed border; it remains part of the boundary of Kirkandrews parish today. The parish straddles the River Esk. At the 2021 census, it had a population of 458.
