Blyborough is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies on the B1398 road, 9 miles (14 km) east from Gainsborough, 16 miles (26 km) north from Lincoln and 3 miles (5 km) south from Kirton Lindsey.

Blyborough Grade I listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Alkmund of Northumbria. Built in the early 13th century, it was partially rebuilt in 1877 by James Fowler.[1]

Two Grade II listed village buildings are Blyborough Grange Farmhouse[2] and Blyborough Hall.[3] The hall was built in the early 18th century and was previously, for many generations, the home of the Luard family who acquired its wealth through sugar plantations in the West Indies.[4]
