Carcroft is a rural village in the City of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the village is roughly 6 miles (10 km) north-north west of Doncaster. At the time of the 2011 Census the village fell within the ward of Adwick le Street & Carcroft in the Doncaster MBC.

At the 2021 census, the combined population of Carcroft and its neighbour Skellow was 7,823. In 2023, the Get Doncaster Moving website published a document citing Skellow's population alone as 3,800 at the time. This would suggest that Carcroft currently has a population close to 4,023 on its own, making it the second most populous of the villages in the ward after Woodlands.
