Ugthorpe is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Scarborough, in North Yorkshire, England, lying on the western edge of the North York Moors and a short distance inland from the coast around Whitby. The setting is typically rural, with rolling moorland and pastoral fields that make it a quiet base for walkers and anyone wanting easy access to both moor and shore.

The village retains a distinctly rural character: its name reflects Norse roots (the suffix -thorpe indicating a small outlying settlement) and agriculture remains important, supplemented by small-scale tourism such as holiday lets and walking visitors. Local life is centred on community ties and the landscape - historic farmsteads, lanes and hedgerows give the place a timeless feel rather than any large commercial presence.
