Saltfleetby is a village and civil parish in the county of Lincolnshire, England. Situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) east of Louth, 10 miles (16 km) north of Mablethorpe and on the coast of the North Sea, the village had a population of 599 at the 2001 Census.
Village amenities include The Prussian Queen public house, primary school, and fishing lakes with campsite.
A section of the village seashore is part of the Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes National Nature Reserve, which comprises sea dunes and both saltwater and freshwater marshes. The reserve is one of only five locations in the UK where the natterjack toad can be found.
Whilst named the Saltfleetby Gas Field, the gas wells situated at the far north of North End Lane are in the Howdales hamlet, part of the neighbouring village of South Cockerington.
Until 1999 the village legally comprised three parishes, Saltfleetby St. Peter, Saltfleetby All Saints and Saltfleetby St. Clement, each one centered around the church that gave it its name. However, the village has operated as one entity for many years. The hamlet of Three Bridges lies to the south of Saltfleetby St Peter.
The village is known locally as Soloby.

The World War II defences constructed in and around Saltfleetby have been documented by William Foot.[1] They included extensive minefields between the Great Eau and the dunes, a large number of pillboxes and a Home Guard shelter in the field adjacent to The Prussian Queen.
