Sicklinghall is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England that is situated between the town of Wetherby ( to the east) and the village of Kirkby Overblow.

In 2007 the population was recorded as 300.

The main amenities in the village are St Peter's Church, The Scott's Arms (a pub), a primary school and a village hall.

The village is surrounded by granges: on the eastern side lie Skerry Grange and Sicklinghall Grange and on the western Addlethorpe Grange. Sicklinghall Grange is set in a estate, it is the UK residence of racehorse owner, Sir Robert Ogden. However the 'big house' is Stockeld Park, formerly a hunting lodge of the nearby Harewood estate and now at the centre of a network of tenanted farms.

As with many Yorkshire villages, Sicklinghall has a wide range of equestrian-related centres in and around the village's centre, with the Sicklinghall Park livery located in the village centre, and Hill Croft Farm Riding Stables located about west of the village on the road towards Kirkby Overblow.

There is also a Roman Catholic monastery dating from 1852.

Sicklinghall has a cricket team playing in the local Wetherby Cricket League. The ground is situated at the top of the village, the club having moved from nearby Stockeld Park in 2002.
