Gillygate is a street in York, in England, immediately north of the city centre.

The south-east side was largely gardens owned by St Leonard's Hospital, but was gradually becoming built up with houses.

Some small-scale industry existed in this period, including stone and coal yards, a smithy, and a clay pipe manufacturer.

In 2013, the City of York Council claimed that "over the last 30 years, the quality of shops and businesses here has risen generally".

[3] Gillygate starts at a junction with Bootham, opposite Queen Margaret's Arch, through which Exhibition Square can be accessed.
