Low Worsall is a small village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England, near High Worsall and 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Yarm. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Hambleton, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. The name Worsall derives from the Old English Weorcshalh meaning 'Weorc's nook of land'. In 1732, Richard and Thomas Peirse developed a port on the southern banks of the River Tees at Low Worsall, and named it Peirseburgh. The river was naviagable as far as Worsall at that time, and exports of lead would pass through Worsall to be loaded onto ships at Yarm. The brothers developed a port to capture road traffic and transfer it to and from ships. The brothers lived at Worsall Hall, which is now a grade II* listed building.

The population remained at less than 100 at the 2011 Census, so details were included in the civil parish of Low Worsall.

Both High and Low Worsall are mentioned in the Domesday Book, and the first element derives from an Old English personal name (Wyrc) and the location of the villages in the nook of land of the River Tees provides the second element of the name. The area contains evidence of a deserted medieval village, featured on Time Team in the late 1990s. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Hambleton, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. A chapel dedicated to St John was built in the village c. 1710, which was used up until 1894, when a church was built in Low Worsall. The churchyard was still the location of burials until at least 1957. High Worsall was the highest tidal point on the River Tees until the opening of the Tees Barrage in 1995.
