Harmby (#17 on map) is now a civil parish and a village in the Richmondshire District of North Yorkshire, England. Specifically it is situated in Lower Wensleydale very near to Leyburn. Spennithorne (#28), half a mile away, was the ancient parish in which it was a township.

Edward Baines, in his 1823 directory (History, Directory & Gazeteer, of the County of York: Vol. II. – East and North Ridings), lists the village as Harnby and gives the population as 194. In the 2011 UK census it had 371 inhabitants.

Prior to the nationwide municipal reorganization of 1974, Harmby was located in Leyburn Rural District. Harmby and Spennithorne were in the Hang West Wapentake.
