Sherburn in Elmet is a sizeable village and ward in the district of Selby, within North Yorkshire, England. Situated between York and Selby, its name recalls the old Brittonic kingdom of Elmet and there are visible layers of history in a compact village centre and parish church that hint at medieval and earlier roots.

Today the area combines surrounding agricultural land with light industry and a substantial commuter population who travel to York and Leeds, and it benefits from good road and rail connections. Local life is marked by active community groups, sports clubs and regular village events, giving the ward a strong social feel while still sitting comfortably close to the Yorkshire countryside.
