Woodthorpe is a suburb in the south west of the city of York, in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England.

The name Woodthorpe is believed to have been the name of one of the first large housing development projects around the Moorcroft Road and Acorn Way area and this name has stuck.

Locally the name Woodthorpe is generally used for the areas south of Acomb Wood and east to Moorcroft Road and Acorn Way.

To the east is Dringhouses, to the north is Foxwood, and to the west is Acomb Park.

In January 2017 the suburb made national headlines when seven year old Katie Rough was killed by asphyxiation and stabbed in the neck near her home by a 15-year-old female.
