Mickley is a small hamlet near Prudhoe and Stocksfield in the English county of Northumberland, England.[1] It lies south of the river Tyne and is accessible via the A695. The neighbouring villages of Mickley Square and High Mickley are usually included under the general name of Mickley. This village once produced "mickley bricks," which can still be found in neighbouring areas. The brick kiln remains at the lower end of Mickley.

The Mickley settlements are served by St George's Church, which was built in 1830. The facilities in Mickley include a post office, garden centre, driving range, and social club.
