Kirk Smeaton is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set in gently rolling agricultural countryside and closely linked with its neighbour Little Smeaton. The "Kirk" in the name reflects the presence of a parish church, and the settlements sit amid fields, hedgerows and rural lanes while remaining within easy reach of nearby market towns.
With medieval roots and a name that hints at a farming and smithing past, the local economy still leans on agriculture, although many residents now commute to larger centres for work. The village keeps an active community life centred on parish activities, local groups and the sort of annual events and traditions typical of small Yorkshire villages.
