Langbar Rock is a Bronze Age rock art panel located on Langbar Moor near Wharfedale in Yorkshire. The stone bears cup and ring markings, a form of prehistoric rock art typical of the Bronze Age period in northern Britain, though such carvings may have earlier origins in the Neolithic. The motifs consist of circular depressions with concentric rings and associated grooves pecked into the rock surface, a technique and style common to similar sites across Yorkshire and the wider Pennine region. The monument's precise function remains uncertain, though such rock art panels may have possessed ritual, territorial, or commemorative significance for Bronze Age communities.
