Harts Ground or Harts Grounds is a hamlet on Holland Fen in Holland, the south-eastern part of Lincolnshire, and forming part of the long, thin, linear village of North Forty Foot Bank. It is a farm and cluster of cottages found nine miles north-west of Holland's main town, Boston.

Harts Ground was formerly an extra-parochial area, prone to flooding prior to the drainage of Holland Fen in 1767.[1] It was, and remains today, an area of isolated farms.[2]

Harts Grounds Farmhouse dates to the late 18th century, built in rendered brick with a pantile roof, and is a Grade II listed building.[3][4]
