Reighton is a village and civil parish, in North Yorkshire, England.

From the mediaeval era until the 19th century Reighton was part of Dickering Wapentake.[2] Between 1894 and 1974 Reighton was a part of the Bridlington Rural District, in the East Riding of Yorkshire.[3] From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Borough of Scarborough; it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

According to the 2011 UK census, Reighton parish had a population of 407,[1] an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 387.[4] The parish also includes the nearby village of Speeton.

The name Reighton derives from the Old English rictūn, possibly meaning 'settlement on a strip of land'.[5]
