Vejlby Sogn er et sogn i Aarhus Kommune, der tilhører Aarhus Nordre Provsti (Aarhus Stift). Indtil Kommunalreformen i 1970 lå sognet i Hasle Herred. Sognet var i 2022 hjemsted for 9.960 indbyggere, hvoraf 6.741 var registrerede medlemmer af folkekirken.

Sognet fik først i 1811 sin egen præst. Tidligere havde den øverste kapellan ved Aarhus Domkirke tillige været præst for Vejlby Sogn.

Vejlby Sogn havde tidligere en naturlig afgrænsning mod nord og øst, hvor det grænsede op til Egåen, der tillige var tidligere amts- og herredsgrænse. Sognet var det største i Hasle Herred, der omfattede hele 1349 ha land (2445 tdr land). Denne afgrænsning blev dog ændret i løbet af 1900-tallet som følge af en opsplitning der førte til tre nye separate sogne. I 1940 blev Risskov Sogn udskilt af Vejlby Sogn og i 1974 blev Ellevang Sogn udskilt af Vejlby Sogn. Endvidere blev en del af Vejlby Sogn udskilt til Skelager Sogn i 1990.

Sogneområdet omfatter blandt andet:

• Den gamle landsby Vejlby.
• Den tidl. Vejlby Skole (1954-2013). Nu nedrevet til fordel for et nyt boligområde.
• Vejlby Kirke. Opført i 1100-tallet.
• Vejlby Stadion.

Oldtiden i sognet

Mennesker har boet i området siden stenalderen. Befolkningen var jægere og fiskere, og området var dækket af skov. Vejlby Sogn frembød ved sin beliggenhed ud mod den forholdsvis rolige Aarhusbugt ganske gode vilkår for en bosættelse under den ældre stenalder. Forholdende var særligt gode, fordi der dengang skød en vig ind, og kystlinjen var en helt anden, end i dag, og smalle fjorde skød sig hist og her i landet. Vandstanden var ligeledes højere.

I Vejlby Sogn er der bl.a. fundet kærneøkser af flint, adskillige skivespaltere og flinteaffald. Der er ligeledes fundet rester fra køkkenmøddinger, og i sognets sydlige del, nord for Risskov, har man fundet rester fra en boplads. Bopladsen synes at have haft en temmelig stor udstrækning.

Man har derudover fundet rester af gravhøje fra bronzealderen og den yngre stenalder, samt lerkar, lerpotter og urner fra jernalderen. Igen af højene er dog bevaret i dag.

Vejlby er som bebyggelse mindst 1000 år gammel.

Vejlbystenen

Man har i Vejlby Sogn fundet en runesten fra vikingetiden, der er blevet opkaldt "Vejlbystenen". Indskriften lyder: "Tykel rejste denne sten efter Tovi, sin måg". Hvem Tykel var, vides ikke, men måske var han en af de første, der lagde en gård i området på sikker afstand af stranden og i nærheden af storbyen Aros (Aarhus).

Stenen blev registreret i 1650 af den lærde Ole Worm, der sendte den til København. Stenen forsvandt dog under transporten. To hundrede år efter dukkede den op igen, da man rensede åmundingen i den gamle havn i Aarhus.

Vejlby Kirke

Vejlby Kirke er opført i 1100-tallet. I 1492 lod biskop Niels Clausen kirken ombygge med våbenhus og tårn. Kirkens mange kalkmalerier fra samme tid blev afdækket og istandsat af maleren Harald Borre i 1942.

De tidlige erhverv

Sognets indbyggere ernærede sig frem til begyndelsen af 1900-tallet hovedsageligt af landbrug. Flere større gårde lå tidligere i sognet, og mange findes ikke længere. Derudover lå der i løbet af 1800-og 1900-tallet flere små husmandssteder og boliger i sognet. Bl.a. 'Loyraden' ved Mosevej, der var en række sammenbyggede småhuse. Her levede man tæt - særligt i forbindelse med industrialiseringens befolkningstilvækst fra midten af 1800-tallet. Husmændene måtte flikke sig et levebrød sammen af mange forskellige gøremål: daglejerarbejde på gårdene, fiskeri, slagtning, kreaturhandel og forskelligt håndværk. Hvis man ikke kunne andet, måtte man til Århus på havnen, byggepladserne eller til den begyndende industri.
