Driby is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of South Thoresby, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 4 miles (6.4 km) west from the town of Alford. In 1961 the parish had a population of 42.[1] On 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished and merged with South Thoresby.[2]

Driby church was dedicated to Saint Michael, rebuilt in 1849–50, closed by the Diocese of Lincoln during the 20th century, and now a private house. It is a Grade II listed building.[3]
