Thoresway is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is west from the B1225 road, southeast from Caistor and north-east from Market Rasen. The population (including Kirmond le Mire and Stainton le Vale) was 198 at the 2011 census.
Thoresway is recorded in Domesday Book as "Toreswe", and listed as having 62 households and two mills. In an 1187 Gilbertine charter it was listed as "Toresweie". The name may derive from:- Old Norse Þórirs vegr = "way of a Viking called Thórir", or Old Norse Þórs væ = "temple of the god Thor".
