Hackthorn is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 180. It is situated 7½ miles (12 km) north of Lincoln just east of the A15.

The village dates back to Roman times. Its most prominent building is its hall, a large square brick house, built in the late 18th century in a landscaped park of around 40 ha.^{[citation needed]}

Situated among the trees of the park overlooking the lake is the parish church, dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels. The church is mentioned in the Domesday Book, although the present church is a Victorian gothic building. It contains carved woodwork in the reredos screen and gallery, and an 1869 Nicholson Organ, fully restored in 2006, which is recognised as being of historic importance.^{[citation needed]}

There is also a primary school, post office, shop and village hall.
