Yearsley is a small village and civil parish in the district of Hambleton in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated between the market towns of Easingwold and Helmsley.

The entire parish of Yearsley is within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It was, and remains, a predominantly agricultural village with significant forestry on the moors to the north of the village.

Yearsley is the site of a number of barrows and other early earthworks. Yearsley was also the site of the pottery of William Wedgewood, a relation of the famous Staffordshire Wedgwood family of potters. The village was part of the Newburgh Priory estate of the Wombwell family until 1944.

Yearsley was part of the parish of Coxwold until it became an ecclesiastical parish in 1855 (although this was not sustained) and a civil parish in 1866.

The Pond Head reservoir between Yearsley and Oulston is the source of the River Foss.

Yearsley is also a surname, meaning 'boar's head'. The Yearsley name is thought to be Norse in origin and is predominately found in North England. There are also a few bearers of the name Yearsley in Ireland.
