Beverley was a local government district and borough of Humberside, England, from 1974 to 1996.

It was formed on 1 April 1974 by the merger of the previous borough of Beverley, with Beverley Rural District and Haltemprice Urban District. Its name was formally changed by the council to East Yorkshire Borough of Beverley in 1981.

On 1 April 1996, Humberside was abolished along with the borough, and the area become part of a unitary East Riding of Yorkshire.
