Fremington is a hamlet in the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire, England. The hamlet is almost joined to Reeth to the north, and Grinton to the south. It is split into Low Fremington, which is built along the B6270, and High Fremington, which is a scattering of houses running up towards Fremington Edge.
From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Richmondshire. It is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
The origin of the place name is from the Old English words Fremi (or Frema), ing and tun and means estate associated with a man named Fremi (or Frema). It appears as Fremington in the Domesday Book of 1086.
In the 19th century, a hoard of 1st-century Roman horse-harness fittings known as the Fremington Hagg Hoard was found near Fremington.
