Brattleby is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 111 having slightly fallen from a figure of 113 quoted at the 2001 census. It is situated 5 miles (8 km) north from Lincoln, to the west of the A15, and near to RAF Scampton.

According to A Dictionary of British Place Names, Brattleby is defined as "a farmstead or a village of a man called Brot-Ulfr", an Old Scandinavian person name, with 'by', a "farmstead, village or settlement".
In the 1086 Domesday account Brattleby is mentioned three times as "Brotulbi", in the Hundred of Lawress in the West Riding of Lindsey. The manor held 19.5 households, 2 smallholders 5 freemen, 3 ploughlands and a meadow of 8 acres (0.03 km2). In 1066 Ulf Fenman was Lord of the Manor, this transferred in 1086 to Gilbert of Ghent, who also became Tenant-in-chief.
Brattleby became a Barony after the Norman conquest. In 1169 the Barony of Brattleby was inherited by Nicola de la Haye, who became Sheriff of Lincolnshire, and, in 1216 after the death of her husband Gerard de Camville, castellan of Lincoln Castle, where she was involved in the 1217 Battle of Lincoln and the defence against various sieges during the First Barons' War.
