North Duffield is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England.
It lies about 4 miles (7 km) north-east of Selby and 11 miles (18 km) south-east of York, on the A163 road from Selby to Market Weighton. The River Derwent forms the eastern boundary of the parish. It has an area of around 10,080 acres (4,081 ha) (according to 2001 UK Census data). There are approximately 1,800 residents in the village, the majority of whom are aged between 30 and 50 years.

It was historically part of the East Riding of Yorkshire until 1974.[2] From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Selby, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
The name Duffield derives from the Old English dūfefeld meaning 'dove field'.[3]
