Plenmeller is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Plenmeller with Whitfield, in Northumberland, England about a mile (1½ km) southeast of Haltwhistle. In 1951 the parish had a population of 107.
==Etymology== The name Plenmeller is first attested in 1255–56, with diverse spellings appearing: Plenmeneure, Plenmenewre, and Playnmalevere. The name is thought to come from the Brittonic language, comprising the words that in modern Welsh are ("top"), ("bare"), and ("hill"). Thus the name once meant 'top of the bare hill'.
