Dalby is a village and civil parish located about 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the town of Spilsby, Lincolnshire, England.

Dalby church is dedicated to Saint Lawrence and Bishop Edward King, and is a Grade II listed building built in 1862 by James Fowler of Louth to replace an earlier church. The font dates from the 14th century.

Dalby Hall is a Grade II listed house dating from the 18th century. It was rebuilt by James Fowler of Louth in 1856 after a fire destroyed the previous building.

The hamlet of Dexthorpe is considered a deserted medieval village or DMV, first mentioned in 1086, and again in 1334. By 1577 there was just a pasture of two acres, a church, and a parsonage.
