Brandsby is a village in North Yorkshire, England. The village is the main constituent of the Brandsby-cum-Stearsby civil parish. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book. It lies between Easingwold and Hovingham, some north of York.

==History== The village toponymy is of Scandinavian origin named after a Norseman called Brand and the suffix of by meaning settlement or habitation. At the time of the Norman conquest, it was held by Cnut, son of Karli and afterwards by Hugh, son of Baldric. Later the village and the surrounding lands were given to Baron Roger de Mowbray. It was part of the Bulford Hundred. The Baron left the lordship of the manor to Nicholas de Riparia (or de le Ryver), whose family held it until the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
