Birkin is a village and civil parish in the south-west of the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England. It is north of the River Aire, near Beal, North Yorkshire. The closest town is Knottingley, in West Yorkshire, to the south-west. The parish had a population of 146 at the 2001 census, which fell to 141 at the 2011 census. Until 1974, it was part of the West Riding district of Yorkshire.

Comparing data from GENUKI with that from Wikipedia, some of the hamlets within Birkin parish (e.g. Chapel Haddesley, East Haddlesey, Hirst Courtney, Temple Hirst and West Haddlesey), were located in Selby Rural District rather than Osgoldcross Rural District.
