Fordingdale Force is a waterfall on Measand Beck, a fast-flowing mountain stream in the Bampton area of Cumbria, near Haweswater. The fall is located at approximately NY47041582, within the valley of Fordingdale Bottom.

The beck's character was noted as far back as 1809, when artist William Green described it as "an impetuous mountain torrent" running into Haweswater near Measand.

Green featured the beck in his series Seventy Eight Studies from Nature , capturing its dramatic, rushing quality in a soft-ground etching.

The waterfall sits along a stretch of Measand Beck that includes several other falls and features, collectively known in the area as The Forces.
