Sturton Grange is a hamlet in Northumberland, located about 2 miles north-west of Warkwork. Historically the grange (farm) was owned by the Cistercian Abbey at Newminster.

It is thought that a medieval watermill was located here, by Grange Burn, and the ruins of a later watermill are still visible.[1] The farmhouse and brye (cow shed) at Sturton Grange (both 18th century) and former blacksmiths (early 19th century) are Grade II listed buildings.
