Aike is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles (6 km) north of Beverley town centre and lies to the west of the River Hull. It is approached by a 2.5 miles (4 km) no-through road off the A164 road.

Aike forms part of the civil parish of Lockington. Before construction began on the Beverley and Barmston Drain in 1798 Aike was an island.[1][2]

Aike Grange Stud to the north of the village is a dressage park, and hosts regional competitions.

Sunnyside cottage in the village was designated a grade II listed building in February 1987.[3]
