Hubberts Bridge is a village in Holland, the south-eastern part of Lincolnshire. It is close to Frampton, of which parish it is a part, and about three miles west of Boston, Holland's main town.

The village's name derives from the bridge crossing the South Forty-Foot Drain. Originally this was a wooden structure, and a new wooden bridge was erected about 1850, but was replaced again by a brick structure in 1888 by the Justices for the Parts of Holland from designs of Mr John Kingston, County Surveyor.[1]

The village is served by Hubberts Bridge railway station,[2] and has a local public house, the Wheatsheaf Inn, and a community centre.[3]
