Bishop Wilton Wold is the highest point of the Yorkshire Wolds in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The summit, known as Garrowby Hill, lies about 5 miles (8 km) north of the town of Pocklington.

As with most of the wolds, it is wide, flat and agricultural in nature. The A166 road passes right by the top. However it is a Marilyn. There is a trig point, two covered reservoirs and an aerial.

The British artist David Hockney painted the view from the summit in 1998.
