Uckerby is a hamlet in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England. It situated at a crossroads on the road between Scorton and Moulton.

The name Uckerby is thought to derive from the word 'Ukkr' meaning a restless Viking, the 'by' meaning home of. Uckerby is believed to be the origin of the surnames Huckaby and Huckabee (although there is also a place called Huccaby in Devon).

Both of the minor roads that cross the main road are dead ends. The one that leads off to the west ends up in a farm yard, it is possible to follow a very rarely used footpath from here to Gatherley Road in Brompton-on-Swale. The other road which leads off to the east gradually turns into a farmers track and then into a public footpath which leads to another hamlet, Moulton End near North Cowton.
