Skirlaugh is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately north-east of Hull city centre on the A165 road. Originally a farming community, it is now primarily a commuter village for Hull.
The name of the village is derived from Old English and originally meant shire clearing. The name is partly due to Old Norse influence, as the village lies in the former Danelaw; it is identical in meaning to Shirley.
