Dungworth (archaic Dungeworth,[1]) is a hamlet in the civil parish of Bradfield, west of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England.

The village also gives its name as a surname; a 'Dungworth' is recorded living at the nearby village of Storrs in 1323. In the late 20th century the English occurrences of the surname remained concentrated in the Sheffield area.[2]
