Surfleet is a small village and civil parish in the district of South Holland in Lincolnshire, England, sitting on the A16 between Spalding and Boston. It occupies a classic Fenland setting beside the River Welland, so the flat, open landscape of reclaimed marshes and drainage channels is a defining geographic feature.

The village has long links to drainage and river management - sluices and pumping have shaped its economy and landscape - and local life is rooted in arable and horticultural farming that still dominates the area. Culturally it feels like a close-knit rural community with the usual village amenities, a parish church and pubs, and it attracts people who enjoy birdwatching, cycling and the wide skies of the Fens.
