Micklethwaite is an area of Wetherby, on the south bank of the River Wharfe, in the Leeds district, in the county of West Yorkshire, England.

Micklethwaite had a public house, the Drover Inn which is now a private residence.

With the advent of the railway, cattle were no longer driven over the bridge and the pub changed its name to the Spotted Ox.

A barracks was built in 1825 to house the Yorkshire Hussars in case of civil disturbances anticipated in Leeds at the time of the Chartists.
