Bigrigg is a village in the civil parish of Egremont, in the Cumberland district, in the ceremonial county of Cumbria, England. Until 1974 it was in the historic county of Cumberland. From 1974 to 2023 it was in Copeland district.
Bigrigg is north of the town of Egremont on the A595 road. Bigrigg Moor is surrounded by farmland and watered by the River Ehen. Deep hollows in the area attest to iron ore mining as far back as medieval times. Bigrigg's calcite deposits were considered to be of the highest quality.
