Carlton Husthwaite is a village and civil parish in the former Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England, about seven miles south-east of Thirsk.

At the time of the Norman invasion, the lord of the manor was Ulf of Carleton, subsequently the lands were granted to the Archbishop of York.

The second part of the name is derived from the Old Norse words of Hus and thwaite, for houses and meadow respectively.

[6] The village lies within the Thirsk and Malton UK Parliament constituency.

[9] St Mary's Church, Carlton Husthwaite is Grade II* listed,[10] and was erected in 1685 as a chapel of ease, though there may have been an earlier building on the same site.
