Dunholme is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is on the A46 six miles north-east of Lincoln.

According to the 2001 census the village had a population of 1,681.

Dunholme has a post office and village shop, St. Chad's CE primary school on Ryland Road,[1] and The Lord Nelson public house on Market Rasen Road.[2]

The parish church is dedicated to Saint Chad and is a grade I listed building, built in the Early English style.[3] It has a kneeling effigy to Robert Grantham (d. 1616), and was restored in 1856 and 1892.[4]

RAF Dunholme Lodge airfield was used by RAF Bomber Command during World War II. It closed in 1964 and little remains, although the William Farr School was built on it.
