Dunholme is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the A46 road, and 5 miles (8 km) north-east from the city and county town 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]
