Skejby is a neighbourhood and former village in Aarhus, Denmark. The neighbourhood is part of the city district Aarhus N.

The Skejby village was originally situated in the countryside north of Aarhus, overlooking the broad flat Egå Valley, but urban development has engulfed it, creating a new suburban neighbourhood by the same name. The old village is still distinctly visible, surrounding the old white village church. Archaeological excavations have revealed, that Skejby has been settled since the early Iron Ages (c. 500 BC), but finds from the Stone Age has also been unearthed.{{cite web |access-date = March 12, 2014 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140312015612/http://www.dnu.rm.dk/nyheder/visnyhed?visNyhed=89232 |archive-date = March 12, 2014
