Yockenthwaite is a hamlet in the Langstrothdale valley in the Yorkshire Dales in the north of England.

Yockenthwaite lies on the north bank of the River Wharfe. It is better known than may be expected because a children's television character from "The Rottentrolls" takes its name from the hamlet.
