Thornton-in-Craven is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. It is very near the border with Lancashire and 1 mile north of Earby. Barnoldswick is also very nearby. The Pennine Way passes through the village, as does the busy A56 road.

Thornton in Craven also had its own railway station, but was closed as part of the Beeching acts.
