Claxby Pluckacre is a hamlet about 5 miles (8.0 km) south east of the town of Horncastle, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.

Claxby Pluckacre once had a church dedicated to Saint Andrew, and it is unclear exactly when it fell into ruin, although the last priest was instituted 1660-2.^[1] Whilst nothing remains it can be seen as earthworks.^[2]

Whilst it was listed in Domesday Book of 1086, today it is considered a deserted medieval village with slight earthworks visible between Hall Farm and The Grange.^[3][2]
