Brantingham is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated about 2 miles (3 km) north of Brough, and 12 miles (19 km) west of Kingston upon Hull. It lies to the north of the A63 road. According to the 2011 UK Census, Brantingham parish had a population of 370, a decrease on the 2001 UK census figure of 410.
The noble family of Brantingham (or de Brantingham), which included Ralph de Brantingham, King's Chamberlain to King Edward III, and Thomas de Brantingham, Lord Treasurer under the same king and later Bishop of Exeter, originally came from the village. In 1333, Lewis de Beaumont, a French-born Bishop of Durham described by a chronicler as "semi-literate, avaricious, and fitfully prodigal", died in the village. He had played some part in defending North-East England from Scottish incursions.
The church dedicated to All Saints was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.
The village has one pub, the Triton, and a duckpond.
The Triton Inn was formerly a coaching inn on the road west from Hull to Brantingham, then being an important staging post on the road between Welton and South Cave. At that time the present inn was called The Tiger and had a wheelwrights and an agricultural engineer (a Mr Watson) in the yard at the front. The pub changed its name to the Wounded Tiger in the 1850s, but took its present name in the 1860s after the triton in the family crest of the Sykes family, who bought nearby Brantingham Thorpe. They owned the pub and another Triton Inn on their Sledmere estate just north of Driffield, also in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
