Cropton is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is on the border of the North York Moors National Park, north-west of Pickering.

==History== The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having three ploughlands, but it does not list any inhabitants. The name of the village derives from Old English (cropp tūn), which means a swelling, mound or hill with a farmstead, settlement or village. At the 2001 census, the parish (including Aislaby) had a population of 354, decreasing to 321 (including Stape) at the 2011 Census.
