Melmerby is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set in a rural landscape of rolling farmland and moorland close to the more rugged scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. The area is predominantly agricultural, with traditional stone houses and farmsteads; quiet lanes, bridleways and footpaths make it popular with walkers and those exploring the surrounding countryside.

Historically the parish has medieval roots and retains a compact village core with a parish church and a few local businesses; local social life tends to centre on community events, the village hall and nearby market towns. Today Melmerby reflects the enduring rural economy and built heritage of northern England, with conservation of stone architecture and landscape character a notable feature.
