Glassonby is a small village and civil parish in the Eden Valley, in the Westmorland and Furness district of Cumbria, England. It lies about 3 miles (4.8 km) south south east of Kirkoswald. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 339.

Glassonby was historically part of the parish of Addingham. The former village of Addingham stood on the eastern bank of the River Eden, but was abandoned after the river changed its course.

Just to the north of the village, at White House Farm, is a well-preserved late 16th-century bastle house. There is a microlight flying centre in the village.
