Nocton is a small village and civil parish in the district of North Kesteven, in rural Lincolnshire, England, set on the gently rolling fen-edge countryside a short distance from the city of Lincoln. The settlement is characteristically agricultural, with arable fields, pockets of woodland and a compact village core that serves a mix of farming families and commuters who travel to nearby towns.
The area has a noticeable historic feel centred on the remains and estate of Nocton Hall, and the parish has traditional community amenities such as a village hall and local clubs.
