Brauncewell is a hamlet and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies between Leadenham and Sleaford and is north of, and in close proximity to, RAF Cranwell.

Brauncewell Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to All Saints.[1] Built in the 16th century over an earlier church, it was largely rebuilt in 1857.[2] It includes a grave cover in the nave dated between the 10th and 12th century.[3] The church is now redundant.

Brauncewell is close to a large quarry.

A Bronze Age Barrow burial site, and Roman sites, have been identified within the parish.

The parish contains the remains of two deserted medieval villages:
