Broughton is a sizeable village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England, sitting a few miles north of Scunthorpe on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. It works as a local service centre with shops, schools, pubs and a village hall, and many residents commute to nearby towns while others are employed in farming or light industry in the surrounding area.

Historically an agricultural settlement, Broughton retains older buildings and a traditional village feel, and community life is centred on local clubs, sports teams and seasonal events. Its proximity to the Humber and the wider North Lincolnshire countryside makes it handy for walkers and families who want rural surroundings with easy access to urban amenities.
