Anderby is a civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It has a population of 335, according to the 2001 census.

The main village in the parish is called Anderby, and consists mainly of a stretch of housing just off the main A52.

Two miles to the east, on the coast is the smaller seaside hamlet of Anderby Creek. Anderby Creek is built on the side of a creek that leads out to the sea from the drainage museum that sits near its entrance. The beach at Anderby Creek has been mentioned in the Good Beach guide. There is a beach shop and a cafe, a few houses and a village pub. It is a quaint, small hamlet, it has 5 caravan sites, easy access to the beach, and is unspoilt by arcade and amusement development. At the entrance to Anderby Creek is the drainage museum. Protected by the council against development of modern tourist facilities to preserve the unspoilt status of the area.

In the past Anderby Creek was home to the Anderby Creek quarry, which is now underneath the lake you can see in the aerial photographs, and surrounded by an area named Lakeside and its mainly chalet construction. Anderby Creek bricks were used to build a few of the houses you see, specifically the row of houses to the immediate right of Lakeside. There are also two war-era defensive structures in Anderby Creek, one inside the Sunkist Caravan Park near the Anderby Creek, and one near the wooded area that separates Anderby Creek from Marsh Yard.
