Stickle Tarn is a small tarn near Harrison Stickle in Lake District, England. The tarn was enlarged by the building of a stone dam in 1838 and is used to supply water for the inhabitants of Langdale. The tarn is situated in a corrie, flanked on the west side by Harrison Stickle, and on the north by the massive imposing bulk of Pavey Ark's south face. The tarn is frequently visited by fellwalkers ascending to Pavey Ark's summit, or en route to High Raise from Great Langdale.

Der Stickle Tarn ist ein See im Lake District, Cumbria, England. Der See liegt in einem Kar östlich von Pavey Ark und Harrison Stickle. Der natürliche See wurde 1838 durch einen Damm weiter aufgestaut, um Wasser für die Schießpulvermühle in Elterwater und die Mühle bei Millbeck zu liefern. Der Wasserspiegel des Sees ist durch den Damm um etwa zwei Meter angestiegen.
