Kellington is a small village and civil parish in the Selby District of North Yorkshire, England, on the banks of the River Aire.

Situated almost equidistant between the towns of Pontefract and Selby, the village dates back to at least the 11th century when it was listed in the Domesday Book (as Chelinctone).

[2] The semi-rural community grew in size with the advent of local mining as housing was built to accommodate the workers of nearby Kellingley Colliery.

In 2008 the continuation of Kellington as a separate village was put at risk because of a proposal to turn it, along with neighbouring Beal and Eggborough, into a new town, under a scheme being promoted by the then Labour government of building so-called eco-towns around the country.

[7] Of interest in Kellington is the local parish church, St Edmunds, dating back to at least 1177,[8] its gate posts were built in 1698 and are grade II listed.
