South Ormsby, sometimes called South Ormesby, is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, a mile west of the A16 road, seven miles south of Louth and seven miles north-east of Horncastle. With the nearby hamlet of Ketsby, it forms the civil parish of 'South Ormesby with Ketsby'.
The 15th-century church of St Leonard's is approached by a short climb up a path next to the old schoolhouse.
Ormsby Hall, built by James Paine in 1752, stands in a wooded parkland complete with lake.
The village has a public house, the Massingberd Arms, and a motor repair garage.
The Greenwich Meridian line passes through the village.
