Welburn is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, in England, 2 miles south-west of Kirkbymoorside and about 24 miles from York. The population of the parish was estimated at 60 in 2012. As the population of the civil parish was less than 100, it was not separately counted in the 2011 census and was included with the civil parish of Wombleton.

Welburn was historically a township in the parish of Kirkdale and became a civil parish in 1866. In 1870–72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Welburn like this:
"WELBURN, a township in Kirkdale parish, N. R. Yorkshire; 5 miles E of Helmsley. Acres, 1,582. Real property, £2,846. Pop., 121. Houses, 20."
From 1974 to 2023, it was part of the district of Ryedale, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
The name Welburn derives from the Old English wellaburna meaning 'spring by a stream'.
