North Killingholme is a small village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the southern bank of the Humber estuary northwest of Grimsby; to the south is the village and civil parish of South Killingholme.
The harbour of North Killingholme Haven, and the Humber Sea Terminal (2000–) are in the northern part of the parish, on the banks of the Humber estuary. The Lindsey Oil Refinery (1968–), and the Killingholme A and Killingholme B power stations (1990s–) are located in the parish, northeast of the village.
South Killingholme village is located southwest of the refinery – it is small, with a low population – the church of St Denys dates to the medieval period, and there are two moated sites in close proximity.
The former RAF North Killingholme is located in the southern part of the civil parish, built and used during the Second World War.
The parish of North Killingholme extends from the Humber estuary foreshore roughly southwest through Lindsey Oil Refinery; the village of North Killingholme; and the former RAF North Killingholme to a boundary with the civil parish of Ulceby formed by the canalized water course, Skitter Beck. The parish is roughly 3.7 miles (6 km) long (NW-SE) and 1.2 miles (2 km) wide, widening to 2.5 miles (4 km) wide at the banks of the Humber. The drain outfall, harbour and port of North Killingholme Haven is located in the northernmost corner of the parish on the Humber banks. To the south east is the civil parish of South Killingholme; to the northwest is the civil parish of East Halton.
