Uffington is a village in the South Kesteven District of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated in the valley of the River Welland, between Stamford and The Deepings (a group of villages). The population of the civil parish was 676 in the UK census of 2001.

The village lies 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Stamford on the A16 road where the low Jurassic clay and cornbrash ridge on which it stands lies 100 feet (30 m) or so above the level of The Fens.

Uffington Park, the grounds of a country house demolished by fire in 1904, lies between the village and the river. Subsidiary buildings of Uffington House remain.

To the northeast is Casewick Hall. This is the location of a "deserted medieval village" mentioned as "Casuic" in the Domesday survey of 1086, and as "Casewick" in a tax list of 1334. By 1816 only Casewick Hall and one other house had survived.
