Ryedale is a non-metropolitan district of the shire county of North Yorkshire in England. Settlements include Helmsley, Kirkbymoorside, Malton, Norton-on-Derwent, Pickering, and Terrington.

The name refers to the River Rye and was previously used for the Ryedale wapentake of Yorkshire, that covered roughly the same area. The current district was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, and was a merger of urban district of Norton and Norton Rural District, from the historic East Riding of Yorkshire, along with the urban districts of Malton and Pickering with Flaxton Rural District, Helmsley Rural District, Kirkbymoorside Rural District, Malton Rural District and Pickering Rural District, all from the North Riding of Yorkshire.

The district lost about half its population in 1996, when an expanded City of York became an unitary authority - specifically the parishes of Clifton Without, Earswick, Haxby, Heworth Without, Holtby, Huntington, Murton, New Earswick, Osbaldwick, Rawcliffe, Skelton, Stockton-on-the-Forest, Strensall, Towthorpe, and Wigginton [1] [2] According to the 2001 census these parishes combined had a population of 50,163, compared to the population of the rump Ryedale district of 50,872.

In recent years the national spotlight has been shining on Ryedale after producing Miss England 2007, Georgia Horsley (of Norton on Derwent), and teenage chart-topping Indie-pop band One Night Only (of Helmsley).
