North Lincolnshire is a unitary authority in England, established in April 1996, one of the first unitary councils.

The 846 km² council area lies on the south side of the Humber estuary and consists mainly of agricultural land, including land on either side of the River Trent. It borders onto North East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire, and North Yorkshire. For ceremonial purposes it is treated as part of Lincolnshire, and is in the governmental region of Yorkshire and the Humber.

Until April 1, 1996, the area had been part of Humberside. The district was formed by a merger of the boroughs of Glanford and Scunthorpe, and southern Boothferry.

There are three significant towns - Scunthorpe, the administrative centre, Barton-on-Humber, and Brigg.
