Speeton is a village in the civil parish of Reighton, in North Yorkshire, England. It lies near the edge of the coastal cliffs midway between Filey and Bridlington. It is North Yorkshire's easternmost settlement, but historically lay in the East Riding of Yorkshire until local government re-organisation in 1974. It was part of the Borough of Scarborough from 1974 until 2023. Speeton was formerly a township and chapelry in the parish of Bridlington, in 1866 Speeton became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Reighton. In 1931 the parish had a population of 165. Speeton railway station on the Yorkshire Coast Line from Hull to Scarborough served the village until it closed on 5 January 1970. A local geological feature, the Speeton Clay Formation (approximately 130 million years old), was the source of an especially interesting fossil of a hermit crab.
