'''Fryup''' ({{gbmapping|NZ720046}}) is a hamlet in the North York Moors National Park in North Yorkshire, England. It is within the civil parish of Danby, and is located alongside Great Fryup Beck in Great Fryup Dale.

Fryup is separated into two small valleys or ''dales'': Great Fryup Dale and Little Fryup Dale. The majority of people live in Great Fryup Dale, with Little Fryup having only eight or nine farms and cottages. Great Fryup has no shops nor even a pub; it has a telephone box, a post box, village hall and outdoor centre which used to be the old school. There is also a local cricket pitch and Quoits pitch.

From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Borough of Scarborough, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

==Name== ===Name origin=== The curious name ''Fryup'' may be a Yorkshire dialect reconstruction of the earlier name ''Frehope'' (14th century).
