Mottville is a hamlet in the Town of Skaneateles, New York, United States.

Mottville, originally styled "Mottsville", was named after Arthur Mott, who moved to the area about 1820, owned a wool factory, and was for some time a successful and prominent citizen.

Other hamlets in the vicinity were Kellogg's Mills, Willow Glen, and Glenside.
