Welton (; or Welton by Lincoln) is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish was recorded as 4,327 in the 2011 census. It is geographically situated north from Lincoln city centre. The name Welton by Lincoln distinguishes it from other similarly named villages in Lincolnshire: Welton le Wold and Welton le Marsh.

The village centre has been long appreciated for its picturesque and quintessentially English qualities, boasting multiple Grade II or higher listed buildings, alongside the titular Welton beck, whose venerable spring really puts the 'Wel' in Welton. It has also been known as a wildlife haven, likely due to having a lot of green spaces, and as a charitable place, especially through the church and schools.[1][2]
