Scampton is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish including Brampton and Broadholme at the 2011 census was 1,358.[1] It is situated {{convert|5|mi|km|1}} north from Lincoln, {{convert|10|mi|km|1}} south-east from Gainsborough, and west from the A15 road.

In the civil parish, between the village and the A15, is RAF Scampton. The airfield first opened in 1916 as Home Defence Flight Station Brattleby, becoming Scampton the following year, and then closing in 1919; it re-opened in 1936 as RAF Scampton.[2]

The Dambusters Inn on High Street contains RAF and Second World War memorabilia.[3]

Scampton church of St John the Baptist is mainly 18th century with parts from the 17th century. In its churchyard are buried many service war dead, 64 British Commonwealth and 8 German.[4]

The village school is Scampton Church of England Primary School, which dates from 1870.{{citation needed|date=May 2012}}
