Wandope is a Lake District fell of 773.9 m in Cumberland. It rises only 30.5 m above its key col, 3.9% of its height.

Its key col leads to Grasmoor, not to its nearest higher summit, Crag Hill. Its drop of 30.5 m makes it a Hewitt but is short of the 150 m a Marilyn needs. The key col is close by, only 0.3 km to the north at 743.4 m. The highest point is recorded as small pile of stones, not a cairn. It falls on two OS 1:50,000 sheets, 89 and 90.
