Glanford was a borough of the English non-metropolitan county of Humberside from April 1, 1974 to April 1, 1996.

It was formed from the Lincolnshire districts of Barton-upon-Humber, Brigg, and Glanford Brigg Rural District. When Humberside was abolished in 1996 it became part of the North Lincolnshire unitary authority.

The borough touched Cleethorpes to the east, Lincolnshire to the south, Boothferry to the west, and had a shore on the River Humber to the north. It entirely surrounded the borough of Scunthorpe.
