List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in North Yorkshire

This is a list of the Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) in North Yorkshire. Note that Natural England, the designating body for SSSIs in England, uses the 1974–1996 county system, and this list follows the same approach, rather than, for example, merging all Yorkshire sites into a single list. Some sites you may expect to find here could therefore be in either the Cleveland or the Humberside lists.

For other counties, see List of SSSIs by Area of Search.
