South Cockerington is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, about 4 miles (6.4 km) east of the town of Louth.

The parish church is a grade I listed building dedicated to Saint Leonard^{[disambiguation needed ]} dating from the early 14th century, and restored in 1872-73. It is built from greenstone, limestone and brick. Inside there is a 15th century font, and an alabaster monument to Sir Adrian Scrope who died in 1623 which is attributed to Epiphanius Evesham.^[1]

South Cockerington Hall was demolished in 1926.^[2]

In the village were four almshouses which are now a grade II listed house, dating from about 1890, built of red brick.^[3]
