Grassthorpe is a hamlet and civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire, England. Population from the 2021 census was 55 residents.
A former chapel of St James was in the village. It was converted into a cottage and barn during the reign of Elizabeth I.[1] There is also a disused watermill.

There are three windmills recorded at Grassthorpe.
