East Stockwith is a small riverside village and civil parish in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, sitting on the eastern bank of the River Trent opposite West Stockwith. The settlement is quietly rural, set among arable fields and fenland typical of the nearby Isle of Axholme, and is within easy reach of the market town of Gainsborough.
Historically it grew around a riverside wharf and a ferry crossing, so the Trent and river trade have shaped much of its character; today the local economy is largely agricultural with a modest leisure element - angling, boating and riverside walking - and village life remains small and close‑knit, reflecting the slow rhythms of the surrounding countryside.
