Micklegate is a street in the City of York, England. The name means "Great Street", "gate" coming from the Old Norse gata, or street.[1]

Micklegate is described by York City Council as "one of the most handsome streets in Yorkshire",[2] and was described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "...without any doubt the most architecturally rewarding street in York".[3] There are three Medieval churches on the street, and a total of four Grade I listed buildings, with the majority of buildings being three- or four-storey Georgian structures.[2]

The name Micklegate is sometimes applied to a slightly broader area, including the side streets Toft Green, Priory Street, Trinity Lane and St Martin's Lane.[2] There is also a ward of Micklegate, used for elections to the City Council, which covers a much larger area, spreading well beyond the city walls.
