Wath Rural District was an administrative division of the North Riding of Yorkshire based on the village of Wath (near Ripon) which was in existence from 1894 until 1974. Since the municipal reorganization of 1974, the area covered by Wath Rural District has been located in the administrative District of Harrogate District, North Yorkshire.
