Bentley with Arksey is a former civil parish (1866–1974) and urban district (1911–1974) adjacent to the town of Doncaster in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

[4][5] The parish included the villages of Bentley, Arksey, Scawthorpe, Shaftholme and Tilts.

It was divided into five wards for election of members of the urban district council.

[6] From 1 April 1974 the Local Government Act 1972 reorganised administrative areas throughout England and Wales.

Bentley and Arksey was combined with ten other authorities to form the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire.
