Winteringham is a village in North Lincolnshire, England, and on the south bank of the Humber Estuary. Its population recorded in the 2001 Census was 989.^{[citation needed]}

The Romans had a settlement here probably called Ad Abum.^[1] The Roman road Ermine Street from London and Lincoln to the south crossed the Humber here by way of a ferry or ford to Brough, and from there continued to York. The pre-Roman ridge way also resumed here, called Yarlesgate, or Earlsgate, on its route south and south-west towards the Midlands and Southwest England.^[1]

The village, and its neighbour Winterton to the south, were possibly named after the first King of Lindsey - Wintra - though there are several other theories. By the time of Domesday it was a prosperous place with three mills, a fishery and a ferry.

In the 19th century there were two maltkilns, a mill, boatyard, brewery, brickyards, and by 1907, the North Lindsey Light Railway.

The former Michelin Star Winteringham Fields restaurant is situated near the centre of the village, owned by Great British Menu 2012 winning chef Colin McGurran.^[2] There are two public houses: The Bay Horse at West End and The Ferry Boat Inn in High Burgage. In High Burgage is a corner shop and a post office. In Low Burgage is the local chapel, on a road which leads to Winteringham Haven. On Market Hill, off High Burgage, is the local primary school (Winteringham Primary School), on School Road.

Winteringham is also approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) from a wildfowl refuge on the River Humber while also being approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from the Winteringham Haven Wildlife Reserve.

Henry Kirke White, the Nottingham poet to whom are attributed the words of the hymn "Oft in danger Oft in woe", was educated at the Rectory in 1804-05.
