North Skelton Mine was an ironstone mine in the village of North Skelton in North Yorkshire, England.[note 1] The mine was the deepest of the ironstone mines in Cleveland and was also the last to close, which came in January 1964. Some buildings still exist on the surface as well as spoil heaps.
Due to the mine being developed further north, the name of North Skelton Mine stuck, even when it was moved south east of Skelton village.
