Hawsker Cross is a wayside cross located approximately 100 metres east of Hawsker Hall Farm in Yorkshire, England. The monument dates to the medieval period and represents the type of stone cross that would have served as a marker along routes of travel and pilgrimage, or as a focal point for local community gathering. The cross survives as a standing stone structure, though like many such monuments it has experienced deterioration over the centuries. Such wayside crosses are characteristic features of the medieval English landscape, particularly in northern regions, and their preservation provides evidence of historical settlement patterns and religious practices.
