Hartwith cum Winsley (#7 on the left side of the map) is a civil parish in Harrogate District, North Yorkshire, England. Historically it was a detached township to the ancient parish of Kirkby Malzeard in the Lower division of the Claro Wapentake in West Riding of Yorkshire. It became a separate civil parish in 1866.

The main settlement in the parish is the village of Summerbridge. The parish also includes the hamlets of Low Laithe, New York, Smelthouses, and Hartwith. Winsley consists of some scattered houses and farms in the east of the parish. In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 1,100.

In the Middle Ages, Hartwith cum Winsley (then known as Brimham) formed part of the lands of Fountains Abbey, which established granges at Wise Ing (near Smelthouses), Braisty Woods, Brimham Grange and Brimham Park. At Brimham Grange there was a chapel, where local recusants kept a Catholic priest in the late 16th century. In the 18th century Brimham Hall was built on the site of Brimham Grange and is now a Grade II listed building. Brimham Park was used by the abbots as a hunting lodge. It was replaced in 1661 by a substantial house now known as Brimham Lodge, which is a Grade I listed building.
