Brafferton and Helperby is a civil parish in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England.

[1] When civil parishes were introduced, the two villages were separated out, but are a contiguous settlement with Brafferton at the north end, and Helperby at the south end.

[6] Both previous civil parishes were instituted in 1894, both fulfilling the requirements of a local government act of 1889, which stipulated anywhere with 200 or more voters, could have a parish council.

[5] In 1999, the two separate civil parishes of Brafferton and Helperby pooled their money and resources to build a new village hall, which is situated in Helperby next to the war memorial.

[9] In 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated that the two villages had a population of 820 people – 300 in Brafferton and 520 in Helperby.
