A 2.5-magnitude quake was recorded just after 01:30 BST near Litton in the Yorkshire Dales.
The tremor, south-west of the village, had a depth of 4km (2.5 miles), according to the British Geological Survey (BGS).
The last earthquake recorded in North Yorkshire was at Kilnsey in Wharfedale on 18 March, which was a magnitude of two.
On Tuesday, the BGS recorded a 1.2-magnitude earthquake in Cardiff.
Earthquakes below 2.5 can sometimes only be picked up with monitoring equipment but the Dales event was reportedly felt by a number of people in the village and surrounding area.
