Little Fenton is a small civil parish in the district of Selby, set in the agricultural countryside of North Yorkshire, England. It has no pronounced village centre and is made up of scattered farms and houses, lying within reasonable commuting distance of larger centres such as York and Leeds.
The area has medieval roots - the name Fenton reflects an Old English origin meaning a farm by a fen - and retains traditional field patterns, stone farmhouses and quiet lanes. Economically it remains largely agricultural with some commuters to nearby towns, and socially the community is small and closely connected, often sharing events and services with neighbouring villages.
