Snainton is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, situated on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park and within the Vale of Pickering. The settlement retains a compact village core of traditional stone buildings and a green, and its location close to moorland and coast makes it a handy base for walkers, cyclists and day visitors exploring the surrounding countryside.

Historically agricultural, Snainton still has a farming character but many residents now commute to nearby towns such as Scarborough and Pickering, and local services benefit from tourism to the moors and the Yorkshire coast. Community life is centred on the village hall and parish activities, giving it a quietly sociable rural feel while remaining within easy reach of larger amenities.
