Bedlam is a small village in the county of North Yorkshire, England situated north of Harrogate. ^{[1] [2]}

Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. ^[3] From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Borough of Harrogate, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

Its name most likely came from Old English (æt) Botlum = "at the buildings" (with a dative plural case ending), or its Old Norse equivalent, and not the same origin as Bedlam insane asylum. There is also a Bedlam, Shropshire.
