Bilbrough is a village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England, six miles south-west of York, and just outside the York city boundary. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 319.

The main street in Bilbrough is home to "The Three Hares" public house and a parish church which dates back to Norman times. Thomas Fairfax, parliamentary commander-in-chief during the English Civil War, is buried there.

The village is set amongst fields and farmland north of the A64 road. A flyover which affords access to the village opened in 2005, replacing an earlier accident blackspot. Close to the flyover, at either side of the A64, there are small service stations, hotels and fast food restaurants.

Bilbrough's history is covered in a book written by E. Bogg.

The village hall offers community events, such as wine club meetings and barbecues. Children have the opportunity of joining the Bilbrough Children's Club, run by members of the village.
