Lucker is a village in Northumberland, located about 3 miles south-west of Bambrugh and 3 miles south-east of Belford. The village is part of the Civil Parish of Adderstone with Lucker; historically a chapelry in the ancient Parish of Bambrough and then a parochial chapelry (largely independent of the parish). Amongst the notable buildings in Lucker are St Hilda's Church, the Apple Inn, and the War Memorial is located in the centre of the village. To the north of the village is the former Lucker Railway Station and the road bridge (1906) over Waren Burn.
