The Humber Derby, also known as the Humberside Derby, is the footballing rivalry between the teams north and south of the River Humber, England; Scunthorpe United and Grimsby Town from North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire on the south bank, and Hull City from the East Riding of Yorkshire on the north.

The derby was contested on 16 December 1905 when Hull City played Grimsby Town[5] at the Boulevard in Hull. Grimsby won the game 0–1. Scunthorpe United's first game was a 4–0 away defeat to Hull City in 1937. In recent years the derby has tended to be between Hull City and Scunthorpe United, due to Grimsby Town not sharing the same division as Scunthorpe United since 2005 and Hull City since 1987.

The most recent derby took place on 5 February 2011, with Hull City running out the 5–1 winners in a clash at Glanford Park, with a hat-trick coming from Matty Fryatt and a brace from Aaron Mclean. [6]
