Great Smeaton is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. It lies on elevated ground near the River Wiske, which is a tributary of the River Swale. The parish population at the 2011 census was 187.
The name of Great Smeaton is first attested in the Durham Liber Vitae for the years 966–72 in the phrase 'on smiþatune' . The first attestation of the 'great' element is found in 1231, in the Latinised form Smithetuna Magna; this element distinguishes Great Smeaton from the neighbouring Little Smeaton. The name comes from the Old English words smiþ in its genitive plural form smiþa and tūn . Thus the name once meant 'smiths' estate'.
