Partney is a small village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 3 miles (4.8 km) north from Spilsby, and in the Lincolnshire Wolds. The village was the birthplace of Henry Stubbe, the noted 17th century Intellectual.
Partney is at the intersection of the A16 and A158 roads. A village bypass diverts the road to Skegness, Ingoldmells and Chapel Saint Leonards. Public transport is provided by the Connect No. 6 bus service which runs from Lincoln to Skegness.
Partney church is dedicated to St Nicholas; in the churchyard stands a stone commemorating Matthew Flinders' marriage in the church. The Victory Hall, next to the church, is an amenity for local clubs and groups.
The small village primary school is Church of England aided.
In the past Partney held a sheep fair. Today an annual summer fair is held to raise money for local causes.
