Sutton Bank is a hill in the civil parishes of Cold Kirby and Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe in the English county of North Yorkshire. It is a high point on the Hambleton Hills, with extensive views over the Vale of York and the Vale of Mowbray, and is in the North York Moors National Park.
The A170 road runs down the bank with a maximum gradient of 1 in 4 (25%), and including a hairpin bend. Vehicles have to keep in low gear whilst travelling up or down the bank, and caravans are banned. The village of Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe lies on the A170 at the foot of the bank, whilst the village of Cold Kirby is on a side road at the top of the bank. Just to the south of Sutton Bank is Roulston Scar, a massive hillfort built in the Iron Age, around 400 BC.
