Copt Hewick is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England.[2][3] The village lies about two miles east of Ripon. It had a population of 180 in 2004 according to the North Yorkshire County Council, increasing to 253 at the 2011 census.[1]

The name of the village derives from the Old English Coppede hēah wīc, which means High specialised farm. The Copt element refers to the hill that the village stands on.[4]

The village is home to Holy Innocents Church, Copt Hewick, which forms a group with a school and clock tower, all built in 1876.[5]
