112 Micklegate is a Grade II listed former public house on Micklegate in York, England. Originating as a house in the early 16th century, it was rebuilt and refronted in the mid‑18th century and later altered with a 19th‑century front, by which time it had become known as the Red Lion. The pub closed in 1939, and the building is now used as a café-restaurant with holiday accommodation above.
