Alvingham is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated north-east from the market town of Louth.

==History== The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Aluingeham", meaning "Homestead of the Ælfingas (the tribe of Ælf)". It was the location of a Gilbertine Alvingham Priory until the dissolution of the monasteries. In the pre-Norman period, as the Lincolnshire coastline grew further into what had previously been tidal salt marsh, people from Alvingham settled the nearby village of Conisholme.
