Owmby by Spital is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. According to the 2001 census the civil parish, known as Owmby, had a population of 309. It is 11 miles (18 km) north of Lincoln just off the A15 and it is 8 miles (13 km) west of Market Rasen. The parish covers an area of 1,600 acres (650 ha). Owmby is known as Owmby by Spital because of the hospital that used to be situated in the village.
