Francis Ingleby was a 16th-century English scholar and Roman Catholic priest who was executed in York. Born around 1551 to a family in North Yorkshire, he studied at Brasenose College, Oxford, and later at the Inner Temple. He traveled to Reims to pursue his religious vocation, where he was ordained a priest in 1583. Upon returning to England, he preached in York, leading to his arrest and subsequent death during the reign of Elizabeth I.
