Uckerby is a hamlet in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England. It situated at a crossroads on the road between Scorton and Moulton.

The name Uckerby is thought to derive from the word 'Ukkr' meaning a restless Viking, the 'by' meaning home of.

Both of the minor roads that cross the main road are dead ends. The one that leads off to the west ends up in a farm yard, it is possible to follow a very rarely used footpath from here to Gatherley Road in Brompton-on-Swale. The other road which leads off to the east gradually turns into a farmers track and then into a public footpath which leads to another hamlet, Moulton End near North Cowton.
