Collingham is a village and civil parish south east of Wetherby in West Yorkshire, England. It is in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough. The clergyman, the Reverend William Mompesson was born there in 1639.〔(Genealogical web site )〕 The River Wharfe runs through the village towards Wetherby, as does the main A58 trans-Pennine road. The A659 passes through the village. The River Wharfe is particularly dangerous at Collingham due to undercurrents, which are especially prevalent around the Linton Road Bridge and the former viaduct. Collingham Beck burst its banks in 2007, causing extensive flooding. The village has one pub the ''Half Moon Inn'' (), where Oliver Cromwell is said to have spent the night after the Battle of Marston Moor.〔(Marston Moor )〕 There is a Post Office, a variety of shops and service businesses, a sports centre and a primary school. The village church is ''St Oswald''.〔(Village Church )〕 The village school, Lady Elizabeth Hastings Church of England Primary School,〔(Collingham Lady Elizabeth Hastings CE Primary School, Wetherby :: )〕 is located off the Harewood Road opposite the cricket pitch.

The Wetherby golf course extends all the way to the river at Collingham. ==Location== The village adjoins the neighbouring village of Linton and the neighbouring town of Wetherby.
