Whittonstall is a hilltop village in the civil parish of Stocksfield, in Northumberland, England. It is situated between Hexham and Consett, to the south of the River Tyne and north of the River Derwent. Newlands, Northumberland is one and a half miles to the south. Broomley is a mile to the north. A minor road turns west at the north end of the village, crossing the A68 after two miles and eventually reaching the village of Slaley near Hexham.

Whittonstall had a population of 219 in 1872.. This had increased to 157 in 1901.

The most notable local landmarks are The Anchor Inn, a public house and the chapel of St. Philip and St. James set back off the B6309 road passing through the village between Ebchester and Broomley. Whittonstall First School is situated across the road from the Anchor Inn.

The only public transport is the twice daily 689 bus service (three times Saturday) between Consett and Hexham.
