Sigglesthorne is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles west of Hornsea on the B1244 road where it meets the B1243 road.

According to the 2001 UK census, Sigglesthorne parish had a population of 282.

The village has around 175 houses. There is also a church (St. Lawrence's Church) and a primary school.

It is rumoured throughout the village that the settlement was given its name as a result of a Viking who lived there. This viking leader was supposedly called Siggle/Siggul, and since hawthorne is the predominant type of hedge around the village, it was given the name "Siggul's thorne" → Sigglesthorne.
