Milby is a hamlet and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated to the immediate north of Boroughbridge.
The Roman road, Dere Street crossed the River Ure at Milby. Until the mid 19th century, the old wooden bridge remains could still be seen.
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Mildebi in the Hallikeld hundred. The lands were the possession of the Crown both before and after the Norman invasion.
Milby was historically a township in the North Riding of Yorkshire, divided between the parishes of Aldborough and Kirby Hill. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. In 1974 Milby was transferred from the North Riding to the new county of North Yorkshire.

The line ran from Pilmoor Junction on the East Coast Main Line near Easingwold to Knaresborough via Boroughbridge. Opened in 1847, it closed in 1964. The Old Station House is a Grade II Listed Building
