Nether Poppleton is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of the City of York in North Yorkshire, England.

[4] In 972, the village was recorded as "Popeltun" in a list made for Archbishop of York Oswald of Church property lost in the wars earlier in the century,[5] and in the Domesday Book as "Popletune".

This bridge was eventually taken by Prince Rupert and his Royalist forces, but he subsequently lost the battle at Marston Moor.

The dig found evidence that there had been a monastic building in the village that was dated AD 450–850[4] and a formerly-unknown Tudor manor.

Nether Poppleton lies within the Rural West Ward of the City of York Unitary Authority.

[13] Poppleton was formerly an agricultural settlement with many farms, but the modern village is mostly a dormitory for commuters to the nearby towns and cities.

The village shares local retail facilities, including a post office, and some small enterprises with Upper Poppleton.

[14] For secondary education, the village is in the catchment area of York High School on Cornlands Road in nearby Acomb.

[17] Harrogate Coach Travel buses run past the village as part of the York to Ripon route.
