Potto is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. It is 5 miles southwest of Stokesley and near the main A172 road.

In the middle-to-late 1950s it became known as the village with "the pub that never opened". If a person wanted to enter, the then owner a Mr. Heslop would look through the window to see if you were respectable or not. After his death, the pub and contents were sold off, the "Johnnie Walker" copper serving tray passing into the hands of the late Dick Preston, steam preservationist who passed it on to his grandson who still looks after it.
