Hanging Grimston barrow group is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three bowl barrows situated approximately 350 metres north-east of Wold Farm in Yorkshire, England. The barrows represent a characteristic form of burial practice on the Wolds during the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the graves of individuals of status within prehistoric communities. The three mounds survive as landscape features demonstrating the organisation of burial sites in Bronze Age Yorkshire, where barrow groups of this type often indicate repeated use of a locality for funerary purposes across generations. The site is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under list entry 1007977.
