Sutton Grange is a small settlement in North Yorkshire, England, 2 miles (3 km) north west of Ripon. It was historically a township in the parish of Ripon, and became a separate civil parish in 1866.[1] By 1961 the population of the parish was only 40,[2] and it was subsequently absorbed into the civil parish of North Stainley with Sleningford.

Sutton Grange was the site of a grange of Fountains Abbey.[3]
