Thornton-in-Craven is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. It is very near the border with Lancashire and 1 mile north of Earby. Barnoldswick is also very nearby. The Pennine Way passes through the village, as does the busy A56 road. The village has a church, a primary school and a large retirement home, but no shops, or a pub.

Thornton in Craven also had its own railway station, but was closed as part of the Beeching acts.
