Ripley is a village in North Yorkshire in England, a few miles north of Harrogate on the A61 road towards Ripon.

It has a castle dating from the 15th century, Ripley Castle, which has been the home of the Ingilby family for several centuries. The present owner is Sir Thomas Ingilby, 6th Baronet (see Ingilby Baronets), the 28th generation. The castle which has a priest hole, is open for public tours. The landscaped castle grounds which contain ornamental lakes are also open to the public.It is notable because a nineteenth century Ingilby tore down the old village and remodelled it after an Alsatian village with an 'Hotel de Ville'. The castle and the parish church were not remodelled.
