Yewbarrow is a Lake District fell of 628.7 m in Cumberland. It sits below Red Pike (Wasdale), only 2.3 km to the north and 197.3 m higher.

Its key col leads to Pillar, not to its nearest higher summit, Black Crag. Its nearest higher summit, Black Crag (801 m, 1.8 km north-west), is a listed top not profiled here. Its drop of 143.9 m makes it a Hewitt but is short of the 150 m a Marilyn needs. It falls on two OS 1:50,000 sheets, 89 and 90.
