The A63 is a major road in Yorkshire, England. It runs east from Leeds past Garforth and through Selby and Howden. From Howden the A63 is renamed to be the B1230, at the Howden end it is still sign posted as the A63. The B1230 continues and carries the A63 traffic over the M62 Motorway and onwards in to Gilberdyke. When the B1230 was originally the A63, the main road through Gilberdyke was a dual carriage way for about 3 miles to the other side of Newport. Where the B1230 crosses the M62 Motorway at Newport the M62 finishes and the A63 starts.
The road continues under the Humber Bridge and through Hessle before terminating in Kingston upon Hull. This final section carries the name Clive Sullivan Way, and was named after the rugby player Clive Sullivan.
A section of the A63 forms part of the unsigned Euroroute E20.
