The B5280 was a short link road in north Lancashire.
The road started on the B5279 (later A5084) in Lowick Green and headed west for a couple of miles to Gawthwaite, where it ended on the B5281.
After World War II the road was upgraded to Class I status, as part of a scheme to allow traffic to access Broughton in Furness and points west by A-road without having to detour via Dalton. The road became part of the A5092, which it remains.
