Hackness is a village and civil parish in the Scarborough district of the county of North Yorkshire, England, located within the North York Moors National Park.
Hackness is mentioned as the site of a double monastery or nunnery by Bede, writing in the early 8th century. The church of Saint Peter, a Grade I listed building parts of which date from the 11th century, has fragments of a high cross dating from the late 8th or early 9th century.
The fragments preserve parts of a Latin prayer for Saint Æthelburh and an illegible inscription apparently in the runic alphabet.
Hackness Hall and its landscape gardens were created in the 1790s. The house, a Grade I listed building, was commissioned by Sir Richard Van den Bempde-Johnstone, who had inherited the estate through his mother. A new entrance was added in 1810. Fire damage in 1910 was restored under the direction of Walter Brierley.
According to the 2011 UK census, Hackness parish had a population of 221, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 125.
The parish council is Hackness & Harwood Dale Group Parish Council which covers the six parishes of Broxa-cum-Troutsdale, Darncombe-cum-Langdale End, Hackness, Harwood Dale, Silpho and Suffield-cum-Everley.
