Habrough is a village in North East Lincolnshire, England. Habrough railway station serves the village and the town of Immingham. The name Habrough is found in many old records as "Haburgh".^[1]

Habrough is both a village and a civil parish in the Lincolnshire Wolds, 3 miles (4.8 km)inland from the River Humber, 9 miles (14 km) north east of the town of Caistor, just west of Immingham parish and just south of Killingholme. The parish covers about 2,330 acres.^[1]

Habrough was mentioned in Domesday Book of 1086 when it was listed as having 28 households, a mill and a saltern.^[2] There was a manor house here, of which only earthworks remain, south east of the church. It belonged during the 13th and 14th centuries to the de Saltfletby family, and later the Skipwith family. The manor was reputedly abandoned when the Skipwith line died out.^[3] Today, the village has land owned by the Earl of Yarborough and is located less than a mile away from the Brocklesby House estate of the Earl of Yarborough.

The village is still on the railway line established in the 19th century by the Great Central railway. Humberside Airport is 5 km South West.
