Toft is a small village in Lincolnshire, England situated about three miles south-west of Bourne on the A6121. It is part of the Parish of Toft with Lound and Manthorpe.

The village gave its name to the Toft Tunnel on the former Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway (closed in 1959), which ran about a mile to the north. This was the only tunnel on that railway, which ran for the most part over the Fens. The village is now best known for the Toft Hotel Golf Course, which is to the south of the village.
