Yokefleet (also known as Yorkfleet)[1] is a hamlet and former civil parish, now in the parish of Blacktoft, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. A very small part of Yokefleet is in the civil parish of Laxton. It is situated on the north bank of the River Ouse, downstream from York, Selby and Goole. In 1931 the parish had a population of 102.[2]

Yokefleet is approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) south-east from Howden and 20 miles (32 km) south-east from the county town of York. Yokefleet lies within the Parliamentary constituency of Haltemprice and Howden an area that mainly consists of middle class suburbs, towns and villages. The area is affluent, placed as the 10th most affluent in the country in a Barclays Private Clients survey,[3] and has one of the highest proportions of owner-occupiers in the country.[4]

Yokefleet Hall is a Grade II listed mansion house of Victorian design by architect Cuthbert Brodrick.[5] The hall is on the eastern edge of the hamlet and the current house was built between 1868 and 1874 according to the York Georgian Society.[6]
