Muckton is a village and former civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies between the A16 and A157 roads, {{Convert|5|mi|km}} south-east from Louth and approximately {{Convert|1|mi|km}} to the west of the village of Authorpe.[1] It is situated in the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is in the civil parish of Burwell.

Muckton is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Muchetune", and is listed as having 9 households, with Ansgot of Burwell as Lord of the Manor.[2]

The medieval church was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It was rebuilt by James Fowler in 1878 although it retained its Norman chancel arch.[3] It was declared redundant in May 1981 by the Diocese of Lincoln, and demolished in October 1982.[4]

Muckton Wood is a nature reserve about {{Convert|0.6|mi|km}} south of the village, purchased by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust in 1983. It consists of ancient semi-natural woodland on a boulder clay soil.[5]

The Greenwich Prime Zero meridian line passes through the parish.
