Upleatham is a village in the civil parish of Guisborough, in the unitary authority area of Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England.

The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book[1] and the name derives from Old English and Old Norse as Upper Slope, in that it was further up the hill than Kirkleatham.

[3] An ironstone seam that was 13 feet (4 m) thick was worked beneath the village which meant that some dwellings were lost to subsidence.

[5] The landowner of the time, the Earl of Zetland, allowed the mining company to extract the ironstone from underneath the village provided that the area around the church was left undisturbed.

[9] The village is located near New Marske, between Saltburn and Guisborough; there are a few rows of houses which are adjacent to Errington Woods.
