Belleau is a hamlet and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) south-east from Louth, and 4 miles (6 km) north-west from Alford. The Bellau parish includes the hamlet of Claythorpe.

The Grade II listed parish church of Belleau is dedicated to St John the Baptist.[3] The church was almost entirely rebuilt in 1862. Near the church are the remains of an old manor house, the former home of the Earls of Lindsey.[2][4] Other Bellau listed buildings are a pigeoncote[5] and barn[6] at Manor Farm.
