Naburn is a small village and civil parish in the unitary authority of the City of York in North Yorkshire, England. It lies on the eastern side of the River Ouse about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of York. Most of the parish is a little over 25 feet (7.6 m) above sea level with the extensive nearby ings being even lower. The village is surrounded by arable farmland and patches of woodland
It has one public house, the Blacksmiths Arms and a small sub post office which also contains Naburn Reading Rooms where the parish council and local history society meet. The Blacksmiths Arms is at the heart of the village and has established a community fund. One of the first things the fund has done is pay for Naburn's first village Christmas tree and Christmas lights (December 2008).
Naburn Hall was in possession of the Palmes family since 1226 and was passed down through the generations consistently from father to son (with only one exception) until 1974.
Naburn was the site of Naburn Hospital, a psychiatric hospital (formerly York City Asylum), until its closure in 1988. The site also included a maternity hospital.
Naburn was badly affected by the flooding of 2001 which resulted in several houses nearest to Howden Beck being flooded.
According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 470. Prior to 1996 it had been part of the Selby district.
