Hutton Conyers is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated near the River Ure and 1-mile (1.6 km) north-east of Ripon. The parish extends from the River Ure to the A1(M) motorway, and includes the village of Nunwick.
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Hotone in the Hallikeld hundred and was owned by Bishop of Durham St Cuthbert. Land ownership subsequently passed to the Conyers family, after whom the village derives its suffix. Thereafter it has passed through several notable local families, namely the Mallories of Studley, the Aislabies, the Earl de Grey and thence to the Marquess of Ripon in the late 19th century. Hutton Conyers was historically an Extra-parochial area in the North Riding of Yorkshire. It became a civil parish in 1858, from 1894 part of Wath Rural District. In 1974 it was transferred to the Harrogate district of the new county of North Yorkshire. In 1988 the parish absorbed the small civil parish of Nunwick cum Howgrave.
The toponym derives from the Old English hōh tūn, meaning settlement on or by the hill spur. The second part of the name derives from the Conyers family, who held land here in the 12th century.
Just outside the village, Roman remains of a watchtower have been found, articles from which now reside in the Museum in Ripon.
The Leeds and Stockton branch of the North Eastern Railway used to pass through the village.
