West Cowick is a village located in the civil parish of Snaith and Cowick in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It lies in low-lying farmland within the Humberhead Levels.
To the east is Cowick Hall, a late seventeenth-century country house listed at Grade I and now the headquarters of Croda International. On 14 June 1323 the Crown issued Exchequer ordinances from Cowick. West Cowick is identified as a production centre for Humber ware pottery, and a 2024 peer-reviewed study analyses the local shift from green to purple glazed wares.
