Boltby is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, lying on the northern fringe of the North York Moors. Perched above a wooded dale, it has the rolling farmland, stone cottages and wide moorland views that attract walkers and visitors, and is linked to the surrounding countryside by a network of footpaths and quiet lanes rather than busy roads.

The name is of Norse origin, essentially meaning "Bolti's settlement", and the place retains a distinctly rural, historic feel. Agriculture - particularly hill and livestock farming - remains important, complemented by a modest tourism economy of holiday lets and day visitors; community life is small-scale and neighbourly, shaped by farming seasons and local events rather than urban amenities.
