Embsay is a village in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England and is situated about 2 miles north-east of Skipton. The village has a station on the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway and regularly holds special events such as Thomas the Tank Engine days. The village also has a large craft centre.

The rock formation to the north of the village is called Embsay Crag. The crag marks the start of Barden Moor, a large expanse of open moorland which is popular with walkers due to it being open access land. There are two reservoirs within the moor called Upper Barden Reservoir and Lower Barden Reservoir.
