Ulleskelf /ˈʌləˌskɛlf/ is a small village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England, four miles from Tadcaster on the River Wharfe. Its name comes from the Scandinavian personal name Úlfr. Kelf translates from Icelandic (i.e. Old Norse) as calf. It was written in the Domesday Book as Oleschel and Oleslec.

An episode of A Touch of Frost, entitled 'Mind Games', starring David Jason and Keith Barron, was filmed in the village in 2008.
