Edlington is a village in the parish of Edlington with Wispington, in East Lindsey Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 2 miles (3.2 km) north-west of Horncastle. In 1961 the parish had a population of 105.[1] On 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished and merged with Wispington to form Edlington with Wispington.[2]

Edlington Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Helen.[3] Originating in the 12th century, it was rebuilt in 1859 by James Fowler, but retained its Norman tower arch and Early English font.[4]

Another listed building is the late 16th-century Hall Farm House.[5]
