Hagnaby is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of East Kirkby, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is 4miles south-west from Spilsby. In 1961 the parish had a population of 18.[1] On 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished and merged with East Kirkby.[2]

Hagnaby is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Hagenebi", with 23 households. In 1086 the Lord of the Manor was Ivo Tallboys.[3]

The church, dedicated to Saint Andrew, is a Grade II listed building dating from the late 18th century with 1881 and 1903 alterations, and consists of render over red brick.[4]

A 19th-century mansion house assumed the name "Hagnaby Priory" although there is no historical record of any priory in the vicinity.[5] In 1964 Pevsner stated that remains of a large 1835 Tudor and Gothic style house (Hagnaby Priory) by Charles Kirk existed as part of a current office wing.[6] [7]

In 1885 Kelly's Directory recorded a parish of 789acres, with agricultural production of wheat, oats, barley and beans.[8]
