Mablethorpe and Sutton is a civil parish and town in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England. It is on the North Sea coast and includes the former parishes of Mablethorpe, Trusthorpe, Sutton on Sea or Sandilands. The village of Thorpe is on the inland edge of the parish of Trusthorpe. According to the 2001 census the former urban district had a population of 11,780, increasing to 12,531 at the 2011 Census.

In 1894 the Civil Parish of Mablethorpe was included in Louth Rural District but in 1896 was created as an urban district in Lincolnshire, in the section known as Parts of Lindsey. In 1925 it was joined in the urban district by the parishes of Trusthorpe in Louth Rural District and Sutton in the Marsh (or Sutton le Marsh) which had been located in Spilsby Rural District . At this time Mablethorpe changed its name to the longer Mablethorpe and Sutton.

Its urban district status was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972 in 1974. At the same time the district authority became East Lindsey, and Mablethorpe and Sutton remained a civil parish with a town council.
