Gristhorpe is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, tucked close to the east coast between the seaside towns of Scarborough and Filey. It sits among rolling agricultural land and is within easy reach of coastal paths and cliffs, which makes the area popular with walkers and people seeking a quiet rural base with access to nearby seaside amenities.

The village is best known for the archaeological find dubbed "Gristhorpe Man," a well‑preserved ancient burial discovered nearby, and otherwise has the character of many small Yorkshire villages: an agricultural local economy, limited services, and a tight‑knit community with a strong local identity and links into the larger towns for employment and services.
