Clapham is a small village in the wooded Clapdale valley in the Yorkshire Dales, England.

It is well known as a starting point of a classic ascent of Ingleborough (one of Yorkshire's famous "Three Peaks" - Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent), the path from Clapham leads through woods to the impressive entrance of Ingleborough Cave. In August 1947 the Trow Ghyll skeleton was discovered in a cave above the village.

Clapham is one of the traditional starting points (along with Horton In Ribblesdale) for the Three Peaks Walk.

It is served by Clapham railway station.
