Hipswell is a village and civil parish in the Richmondshire District of North Yorkshire, England. The civil parish mainly comprises the northern part of Catterick Garrison (a large army base).
Hipswell was historically a township in the ancient parish of Catterick in the North Riding of Yorkshire. In the 1320s it was the birthplace of noted English theologian John Wycliffe, leader of the Lollard Movement. In 1866 it became a separate civil parish, and in 1974 became part of the new county of North Yorkshire. In the UK census of 2011, the population was 5,388.
Situated close to the church, Hipswell Hall is a 15th-century manor house, with alterations dated 1596, possibly originally part of a fortified house, built for the Fulthorpe family.
