Horkstow is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England, 4 miles (6.4 km) south-west from Barton-Upon-Humber, 1 mile (1.6 km) south from South Ferriby and 9 miles (14.5 km) north from Brigg. It lies on the B1204, and 1 mile (1.6 km) east from the navigable River Ancholme.^[1] It is one of the five Low Villages - Worlaby, Bonby, Saxby All Saints, Horkstow and South Ferriby - between Brigg and the River Humber, so-called because of their position below the northern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds.^[2] Horkstow was previously part of South Humberside administrative district, and before that, the North Lindsey division of Lindsey, Lincolnshire.^[3]

In the Domesday account, the village is referred to as "Horchetou", although the name has gone through various changes since.^[4]
