Thorner is a rural village and civil parish in the City of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England, located between Seacroft and Wetherby.

[3] The ancient parish of Thorner covered 4,400 acres (1,800 ha) in the wapentake of Skyrack in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

It was on the Cross Gates to Wetherby Line, which thereby gave access to Leeds and Harrogate, with some services running between these two extremes.

[7] This resulted in an increase in housing and a more widespread distribution of agricultural and industrial products[3] with a substantial number of shops.

[8] However, from the 1950s local businesses declined as the village population increasingly commuted to larger centres such as Leeds.

There is no longer a post office or a village shop, but there is a delicatessen, a hairdresser's and a restaurant, formerly The Beehive pub.
