Carlton Bank is a hill in the Cleveland Hills, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. It is located on Carlton Moor in the North York Moors and overlooks the villages of Carlton-in-Cleveland and Faceby.

The summit provides extensive views of the towns by the River Tees, Yorkshire's northern border, including Middlesbrough and Redcar to the north as well as the surrounding moorland. Roseberry Topping can also be clearly seen from the summit in a north-easterly direction. The Cleveland Way National Trail crosses Carlton Bank and is part of Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk.

A gliding club aerodrome was once laid out 500 yards south of the summit.
