Withernwick is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 10 miles (16 km) north-east of Hull city centre and 5 miles (8 km) south of Hornsea.

According to the 2011 UK census, Withernwick parish had a population of 453,^[1] a reduction on the 2001 UK census figure of 474.^[2]

The name Withernwick derives from the Old English wiðþornwīc meaning 'trading settlement by the thorn tree'. Alternatively, the first element could possibly derive from the Old Norse personal name Vith-Forni.^[3]

The parish church of St Alban is a Grade II listed building.^[4]

Over the past few years the village has been in decline, having lost its post office, school, Methodist chapel and village hall.
