Micklefield is a small village and civil parish on the eastern edge of the City of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England. It sits on the flat plain to the east of the city, roughly ten miles from Leeds city centre, and benefits from a railway station on the Leeds–Selby corridor which makes it a practical commuter base while still feeling distinctly semi-rural.
Historically the settlement grew up around coal mining and the railways, and traces of that industrial past shape its layout and local memory; since the pits closed it has become a mix of older terraced housing, newer estates and surrounding farmland. The village retains a tight-knit community feel with local shops, a few pubs and a primary school, and many residents commute into Leeds or nearby towns such as Selby for work.
