The '''HG postcode area''', also known as the '''Harrogate postcode area''',<ref>Royal Mail, ''Address Management Guide'', (2004)</ref> is a group of five postcode districts in England, within three [[post town]]s. These postcode districts cover [[Harrogate]], [[Ripon]] and [[Knaresborough]] in [[North Yorkshire]].<br />
<br />
HG1 and HG2 cover most of the urban area of [[Harrogate]]. HG1 covers areas north of [[The Stray (Harrogate)|The Stray]] including the town centre, while HG2 covers areas to the south and west of The Stray. East of The Stray, HG1 generally covers areas to the north of the [[A59 road|A59]] Knaresborough Road, while HG2 covers areas to the south. HG3 spans across some of the town's westernmost suburbs, some settlements immediately to the south, as well as a large rural area to the north and west. HG4 covers Ripon and some surrounding settlements and rural areas. HG5 covers Knaresborough and some rural areas to the north and east. <br />
<br />
It is the only postcode area located entirely within North Yorkshire, and when ranked by number of postcode districts it is the second smallest postcode area in the United Kingdom, behind only the [[ZE postcode area]] which has three districts. However, many postcode areas with a greater number of districts cover fewer square miles in total.<br />
