Carlton-in-Lindrick is a village and civil parish about 3 miles (5 km) north of Worksop in Nottinghamshire, England. The 2011 Census (including Wallingwells) recorded a parish population of 5,623.

"Carlton" is a common English placename derived from the Old English for "kings' town" or "freemen's town". "Lindrick" is the name of the ancient district, most of which is in what is now South Yorkshire. The word "Lindrick" denotes the land of the limes (lindens)

St John the Evangelist's Church, Carlton in Lindrick is an 11th-century late Saxon building with Norman, 15th-century Perpendicular Gothic and 19th-century Gothic Revival additions. St John's is the most important surviving Saxon or Saxo-Norman building in Nottinghamshire and is a Grade I listed building. There is a service every Sunday morning at 10.30.

A Wesleyan chapel was built in Carlton in 1861. It is now Carlton Methodist Church, as part of the Trinity Methodist Circuit. A Sunday service is held at 10.45.

In the reign of King Stephen (1135–41) a Norman landholder, Ralph de Chevrolcourt (or Caprecuria) founded and endowed a Benedictine priory of nuns in Carlton Park. It seems to have been built in 1140–44. The priory was next to a spring ("juxta fontes et rivum fontium") called Wallingwells and was dedicated to St Mary the Virgin. Formally it was called St Mary in the Park but it was generally known as the Priory of Wallingwells.
