Great Hatfield is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south west of Hornsea town centre.

The village was a civil parish until 1935, when it was merged with Goxhill and Little Hatfield to form the parish of Hatfield.[1]

Great Hatfield was served from 1864 to 1964 by Sigglesthorne railway station on the Hull and Hornsea Railway.[2] Famous landmarks include the Wrygarth Inn pub and nearby 'Hatfield Paddock' football pitch adjacent to Densholme farm.
