Baston is a small village and civil parish in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Lincolnshire Fens. Its low-lying, flat landscape reflects centuries of fen drainage and intensive arable farming, and the surrounding fields and lanes make it a quiet base for country walks and wildlife watching.

Historically the village has medieval roots with a characterful mix of older cottages and more recent housing, and it retains a close-knit community life centred on a village hall, school and local clubs. The local economy is dominated by agriculture and related businesses, with many residents also commuting to larger towns; socially Baston keeps a traditional rural feel while adapting to modern village life.
