Sturton is a village in the civil parish of Scawby, North Lincolnshire, England. It lies 2.5miles south-west from Brigg, 0.5miles south from Scawby, to which it is conjoined, and 1miles south from the M180 on the B1207.

During the 19th century Kelly's Directory noted that Sturton was a hamlet in the parish of Scawby-cum-Sturton, which also included the hamlet of Scawby Brook, 1.5miles to the north-east. The railway station for Sturton and Scawby on the Gainsborough to Brigg line lies within Sturton, 0.75miles to the south.[1] The station and line was part of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway.
