Howden is a small market town and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It lies north of the M62, on the A614 road about three miles north of Goole and 17 mi (27.4 km) south-west of York. Howden holds a significant historic importance, William the Conqueror giving the town to the Bishops of Durham in 1080. The wapentake of Howdenshire was named after the town, the Bishops of Durham also owning the wapentake.
