Grainsby is a tiny, predominantly agricultural civil parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, in eastern England. It lies within easy reach of the rolling countryside of the Lincolnshire Wolds and the North Sea coast, and is characterised by scattered farmsteads, arable fields and quiet lanes rather than a compact village centre.
Historically the area grew up around a small country estate and long-established rural landholdings, so traces of past layouts and former buildings can still be read in the landscape. Today Grainsby has a very small population, with local life shaped by farming, country pursuits and commuting to nearby towns such as Grimsby and Louth, with social and cultural activity often linked to neighbouring villages.
