Wrawby is a village in North Lincolnshire two miles east of Brigg and close to Humberside Airport, it is most notable for Wrawby Postmill. The Mill is the last remaining postmill in the north of England, and was built circa 1760 on the site of a former mill.

The village was known as Waregebi in the Domesday Book, with the name thought to derive from Old Danish. It means "Wraghi's farmstead".

Wrawby is served by St Mary's Church of England Church, and an affiliated primary school. There is also a methodist church, post office and garage. A village hall was opened in the late 1990s.
