Arksey is a village in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. It was the birthplace of the children's writer Barbara Euphan Todd on 9 January 1890.

It is well known to most in Doncaster and the villagers for its level-railway crossing. The barriers can be down for up to nine hours a day when all durations are added together frustrating many people and severely effecting emergency service responses. The line is situated on the East Coast Mainline London to Scotland route.
