Goole Fields is a civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately Convert|3|mi|km|lk=on south-west of Goole town centre and lies at both sides but mainly south of the A161 road (Swinefleet Road).

The civil parish contains no substantial centre of habitation but consists of a number of farms and a former council estate "The Square". There are no shops nor a church or even a postbox. A phone box can however be found in "The Square" and there are a total of five street lamps. The only addresses in Goole Fields other than those referred to by farm name are "The Barracks" (Formerly the site of a military barracks) and "The Square". The only mentionable landmarks in Goole Fields are the windmill (built in 1876) and the recently heightened riverbank. In the late 1980s and early 1990s Goole Fields was the location of Goole Equestrian Centre which has since closed. There have been three Caravan Club rallies within Goole Fields (all in the 1990s).

In 2004 Apple Recording artist Brute Force accompanied by the Birmingham group Misty's Big Adventure performed in Goole Fields. The performance consisted of a one off recital of a song specially penned to celebrate the 30th birthday of the thoroughbred mare "Premier Bid". The event was covered in the Goole Times. (A recording of the event does exist!)

According to the 2001 UK census, Goole Fields parish had a population of 111.cite web
