Welbury is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is about south of Appleton Wiske and north of Northallerton. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Hambleton District, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having 6 Geld units for taxable purposes and King William being the Lord. The village was originally in the Union of Northallerton which was in the Wapentake of Birdforth. In 1319, the village and fields were destroyed by marauding Scots on their way to meet the English at what would become the Battle of Myton.
