Arlecdon is a village in the Borough of Copeland in Cumbria, England, near the town of Whitehaven.

It has an historic Grade II listed church, first built in 1829, which contains a stained glass window dedicated to Isaac Fletcher of Frizington. In 1904 the church was remodelled, with the addition of a bell tower and eight bells cast by John Taylor & Son of Loughborough. In 2014 it was announced that the church is to close, and the bells hopefully re-used in another church.

The village also has a 19th-century primary school and an old Sunday school.

'Arlecdon' is " OE 'earn-lāce denu', eagle-stream valley'." ('OE' is Old English).
