Full Sutton is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, a short distance to the east of York. It sits in a largely agricultural landscape of rolling fields and quiet lanes, with a compact settlement pattern that attracts commuters and people seeking a rural lifestyle close to the city.

The parish is perhaps best known for HMP Full Sutton, a high‑security prison on the village outskirts, and for the legacy of RAF Full Sutton, a wartime airfield whose runways and buildings still influence the local scene. The community remains small and rural, with local groups and village facilities reflecting a history tied to farming, wartime activity and later light industry and aviation uses.
