Bentley with Arksey was a civil parish and urban district adjacent to the town of Doncaster in the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1866 to 1974.
The parish included the villages of Bentley, Arksey, Scawthorpe, Shaftholme and Tilts.
On 1 April 1911 the civil parish was removed from the rural district and constituted a separate urban district. It was divided into five wards for election of members of the urban district council. The council's headquarters were in Cooke Street, Bentley.
From 1 April 1974 the Local Government Act 1972 reorganised administrative areas throughout England and Wales. Bentley and Arksey was combined with ten other authorities to form the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire. It now forms an unparished area within the metropolitan borough. At the census of 2001 it had a population of 33,968.
