Fulnetby is a hamlet and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 8 miles (13 km) north-east from the city and county town of Lincoln.

Fulnetby is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Fulnedebi"", with 12 households, 100 acres (0.4 km²) of meadow and 120 acres (0.5 km²) of woodland.^[1]

Once larger than the present day hamlet, Fulnetby is considered a deserted medieval village with earthworks in fields east of Fulnetby Hall known as Hall Garths, however since 1953 these have been destroyed and nothing can be seen today.^[2]

The deserted medieval village of Helethorpe or Halethorpe was located nearby and was documented from 1212 to 1711, of which only earthworks remain.^[3]

Formerly a chapel of ease to Rand, Fulnetby was created a civil parish in 1866 and enlarged by gaining part of Rand in 1887.^[4]

Fulnetby Hall is a Grade II listed building dating from the 16th century with a moat on its north and western side.^[5]
