Wighill is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England.

[8] One of the descendants of the Stapleton family recorded his belief that the name could be derived from Battle-hill, but that it was more likely to have meant a village set on a hill overlooking the windings [of the River Wharfe].

[10] Wighill Park, to the north-west of the village, was historically the county seat of the Stapleton family, but by the 19th century, it had been sold on.

[11][12] The Church of All Saints, the Anglican place of worship in the village, is a grade I listed building which has 12th and 15th century origins.

[15][16] The village is now in the Harrogate District of North Yorkshire,[17] and is in the Selby and Ainsty for national government purposes.
