Selby is a local government district in North Yorkshire, England. The local authority, Selby District Council, is based in the town of Selby and provides services to an area which includes Tadcaster and a host of villages.

Since the City of York was removed from North Yorkshire, Selby has been rather isolated from the rest of the county. It is expected that if a regional assembly for Yorkshire and the Humber is introduced and North Yorkshire County Council abolished, then Selby will be annexed to the East Riding of Yorkshire.
