Coneysthorpe is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated near Castle Howard and 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Malton. The Centenary Way long-distance path runs through the village.
From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Ryedale, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
The name Coneysthorpe derives from the Old Danish kunung meaning 'king' and the Old Norse þorp meaning 'secondary settlement'.[2]
