Nether Silton is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England.

It lies 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Northallerton, on the border of the North York Moors national park.

During 1870–72 Nether Silton was described as, "a chapelry in Leake parish, N. R. Yorkshire; 6½ miles E of Northallerton r. station.

[3] These Ancient Counties were then separated further, Nether Silton was within the North Riding of Yorkshire.

[3] Areas were then separated into Poor Law Union/Registration district, Nether Silton came under Northallerton.

[4] In 1881 the total population occupying Nether Silton was 176, consisting of 96 males and 80 females.

[7] According to data obtained from the 2001 Census[8] employment was equally divided between extractive and manufacturing industries (agriculture, fishing, hunting, forestry, quarrying, mining, manufacturing, construction, electricity, gas and water supply), and service industries (transport, retail, hotel, catering, property, storage, public administration and defence, finance, communication, education, health and social work).

Therefore, when summarising the 2001 census data, it would be correct to say that agriculture no longer dominates employment as it did in 1881, as residents are now moving into jobs within the service sector.

[15] Gold Cup Inn is located in the centre of Nether Silton, it is now under new ownership and has been refurbished.
