Crawleyside is a village in the civil parish of Stanhope, in County Durham, England. It is situated to the north of Stanhope, in Weardale. In the 2001 census Crawleyside had a population of 170.
Crawleyside is on the B6278 road from Stanhope to Edmundbyers and Consett. For cyclists, the 1-in-5 (20%) ascent north through the village is described as "punishing". Crawleyside is described by the author of a walking guide published in 1883 as "a pictureque spot on the hillside immediately overlooking Stanhope; the ascent is rather steep but the prospect is unsurpassed". The settlement is simply named Crawley on an Ordnance Survey map published in 1861.
