Great Ayton Quaker Meeting House is a historic religious building in Great Ayton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The first Quaker meeting in Great Ayton was established in 1698, and in 1700 the worshippers purchased a house to use for meetings.

In 1967, the meeting house was extended to the east, to add a performance space, and the internal partitions were removed. The building was refurbished in 2001, with an upper floor inserted at the west end. The building has been grade II listed since 1969. [1] [2]
