Irby in the Marsh is a small village and civil parish in the district of East Lindsey, in the county of Lincolnshire, England. It sits on the low-lying, reclaimed saltmarsh of the Lincolnshire Marsh, so the landscape is notably flat with drainage ditches and broad agricultural fields, and it lies within easy reach of the east coast and resorts such as Skegness.
Locally the economy is dominated by farming, and the settlement retains a quiet, rural character with a small, close-knit population and historic roots stretching back to the medieval period, reflected in older cottages and a parish church. It attracts walkers and birdwatchers to the surrounding wetlands, while many residents commute to larger towns for work or are connected to the nearby coastal tourism economy.
