Farnhill is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England.[2][3] It is situated near Sutton-in-Craven and about 4 miles (6.4 km) south-east of Skipton. Farnhill is also across the canal from Kildwick and there is a church in Kildwick. There is a primary school next to the church and Farnhill backs up on to the moors. There are around 500 people living in Farnhill.

The name Farnhill derives from the Old English fearnhyll meaning 'fern hill'.[4]
To the south of the village is Farnhill Hall, a Grade I listed fortified manor house, dating from the 15th century but much altered.[5]
Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire.[6] From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Craven, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
