Howgrave is a civil parish in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England.

A farm and a house were detached parts of the township of Nunwick cum Howgrave in the parish of Ripon, and another house was a detached part of the township of Holme cum Howgrave in the parish of Pickhill.

[4] The toponym is derived from the Old English hol grāf, meaning "grove in the hollow".

[5] Howgrave was mentioned in the Domesday Book (as Hograve), when different carucates were held by three different owners, the Earl of Richmond, the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Durham.

[6] It was considered a separate manor of Kirklington in the 16th century,[6] but by 1640 it was recorded that there were no inhabitants in the township.
