Winestead is a village in the civil parish of Patrington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 7 mi south-east of Hedon and 1+1/2 mi north-west of Patrington. It is situated to the north of the A1033 road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 153. On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Patrington.

The name Winestead possibly derives from the Old English wīfstede meaning 'women's place'. Another theory derives it from Wifastede or Wifestede, meaning 'Wifa/Wife's place'.

It is also the ancient seat of the Hildyard/Hilliard/Hildegardis family, whose ancestry is believed to be of Saxon origin. The Hildyard family of Winestead became extinct on the death of Sir Robert D'Arcy Hildyard, Bart., who died without heirs in 1814. Hildyard bequeathed his estates to his niece, Ann Catherine Whyte, who married in the following year Thomas Blackborne Thoroton, Esq., of Flintham Hall, Flintham, Nottingham. Col. Thoroton of the Coldstream Guards subsequently assumed the name and coat-of-arms of Hildyard. His heirs, who still have the surname Hildyard, reside at Flintham Hall today. The Hildyard family lived at Winestead for 10 generations, and even after the death of the last Baronet, the heirs continued to own Winestead Hall.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=L2AJAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA20&dq=thomas+blackborne+thoroton&lr=|title=Transactions|volume=7|author=East Riding Antiquarian Society |date=1899}}

In 1823 inhabitants in the village numbered 129. Occupations included six farmers.
