Dorrington is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south of Digby and north of Ruskington. It is to the east of the north-south B1188, which lies just within the parish boundaries. The nearest town is Sleaford, approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the south.

In the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 340.[1]

Dorrington Grade I listed Anglican church is dedicated to St James and St John.[2] It is mainly in Decorated style. On the sides of the east window are ogee canopied niches. The church tower previously held a spire. On the exterior of the east window is a sculpture of the Last Judgment.[3]

The church is situated on the B1188 approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north-west of the village centre, overlooking the village. Frank Whittle lodged at a house in the village while developing the jet engine at RAF Cranwell; the remains of this house lie near the church.[4] In the village are the remains of a Grade II listed Medieval ashlar cross.[5][3]

The Peterborough to Lincoln Line passes to the east of the village.[6] The village public house is the Musicians Arms on Main Street.
