Gowthorpe is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles (6 km) north-west of Pocklington town centre and 3 miles (5 km) east of the village of Stamford Bridge.

Gowthorpe forms part of the civil parish of Bishop Wilton. From 1886 Gowthorpe was part of the civil parish of Youlthorpe with Gowthorpe which was abolished on 1 April 1935 with the creation of the civil parish of Bishop Wilton. The name Gowthorpe probably derives from the Old Norse Gaukþorp meaning 'Gauk's secondary settlement'. It has also been suggested that the first element could be derived from gaukr meaning 'cuckoo'.
