Caenby is a small hamlet within the civil parish of Glentham in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.

In 1945 fields adjacent to Caenby were a military Q decoy site maintained by RAF Hemswell. Dummy plywood buildngs, inflatable rubber aircraft or vehicles and a ploughed faux runway were set up to simulate an active airfield and draw German bombers away from genuine target airfields.
