The Mansion House in York, England is the working residence of the Lord Mayors of York during their term in office. It is situated in St Helen's Square, where York's Coney Street and Lendal intersect in the city centre. It is built in an early Georgian style.

The architect who designed the Mansion House is unknown, although the frontage may be by William Etty.
