Risby is the site of a deserted village and former stately home in the civil parish of Rowley in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

[1] The area has an open partially wooded parkland, once one of the largest deer parks in Yorkshire, that is popular with local walkers.

There are several fishponds in the ornamental lakes of the former hall,[1] which have been operated as coarse fishing locations since 1990.

[5] Risby Hall was the home of the Ellerker family between the early 14th and the late 18th centuries.

[7] In 1550 a deer park was created through the enclosure of some of the estate, and it was subsequently expanded until the 17th  century.
