Ellington is a civil parish in the Harrogate District of North Yorkshire, England, about 5 miles southwest of Bedale. It is made up of two small villages, named High Ellington and Low Ellington, set upon two opposing hills. The A610 road runs along the valley between. High Ellington is the largest settlement in the civil parish of Ellington High and Low (also known simply as Ellington), which in addition to Low Ellington is the scattered settlement of Sutton (which includes "High Sutton", "Low Sutton", "Sutton Penn" and "Sutton Grange"). The population of the parish was estimated at 60 in 2013.

Prior to the nationwide municipal reorganization of 1974, High and Low Ellington were located in Masham Rural District. Historically, it was located in the ecclesiastical parish of Masham in the Hang East Wapentake.

At the time of the Domesday Book it was in the possession of Count Alan of Brittany. It became a civil parish in 1866, then known as Ellingtons. In 1886 the hamlet of Sutton was transferred to the parish from Healey with Sutton.
