Arksey is a village in the City of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. It had an estimated population of 1,303 as of 2010.[1] It was the birthplace of the children's writer Barbara Euphan Todd on 9 January 1890. Arksey has four satellite hamlets: Shaftholme, Tilts, Almholme and Stockbridge.

The sey in Arksey means island in Old English, which is appropriate as the village is surrounded by marshland.

Arksey is older than the Domesday Book.[2]

The Parish Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building, dating back to the 1120s.[3]
