Coleby is a hamlet in the civil parish of West Halton in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) north from Scunthorpe, and 3 miles (5 km) south from the River Humber.
Coleby pre-dates the Norman Conquest, its name derived from Old Norse meaning the "farmstead of a man named Koli".
Coleby has 28 dwellings including 3 farms: Eastdale Farm, Hall Farm and Manor Farm. The village has allotments, but no shops or public houses, and its telephone box was removed in 2008. Public Transport is provided by Hornsby Travel and subsidised by North Lincolnshire Council.
Internet is delivered by ADSL through underground, waxed-paper insulated copper wires that were laid by the GPO in 1955. FTTC is not yet available because the cabinet is too far away.
