Manby is a small village and civil parish in the district of East Lindsey, in Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles east of the market town of Louth and close to the east coast at Mablethorpe. It sits on the edge of the rolling chalk hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB and is surrounded by arable farmland and drainage drains, making the area popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
The parish is notable for the former Royal Air Force site, RAF Manby, whose airfield and buildings have been redeployed for light industry, housing and local enterprise since closure; the local economy is a mix of agriculture, small businesses and commuters to nearby towns. Community life is village-scale with local clubs and a village hall, while residents rely on Louth and neighbouring centres for most shops, schools and services.
