Anick (/ˈnɪk/ AY-nik)[1] is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Sandhoe, in Northumberland, England, situated to the north of Hexham. In 1881 the parish had a population of 153.[2]

Anick should not be confused with Alnwick, pronounced /ˈænɪk/; a much larger town also in Northumberland, but some 35 miles (56 km) further north.

Anick was formerly a township in St. John Lee parish,[3] from 1866 Anick was a civil parish in its own right[4] until it was abolished on 24 March 1887 and merged with Sandhoe.[5]
