Laverton is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England, about 7 miles west of Ripon. The River Laver, from which the village takes its name, flows through the village. The parish includes the area of Dallowgill west of the village of Laverton.

Historically Laverton was a township in the ancient parish of Kirkby Malzeard in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[1] It became a separate civil parish in 1866, and was transferred from the West Riding to North Yorkshire in 1974. The parish now shares a parish council with Kirkby Malzeard (Kirkby Malzeard, Laverton and Dallowgill Parish Council).
