North East Lincolnshire is a unitary authority area in the ceremonial county of Lincolnshire. It borders the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire and the non-metropolitan county of Lincolnshire. The two unitary authorities and the non-metropolitan county make up the ceremonial county of Lincolnshire.

North East Lincolnshire was created from the boroughs of Cleethorpes and Great Grimsby on 1 April 1996 on the abolition of Humberside. (The article, Humberside, discusses this in greater detail.)

Prior to the creation of Humberside in 1974, it was part of the administrative county of Lindsey. (Prior to 1889 it was part of the "Kingdom" of Lindsey.)

North East Lincolnshire covers an area of 74.1 sq mi (191.9 km2). Its population, according to a mid-2014 estimate, was 159,800.

The North East Lincolnshire towns of Grimsby, Immingham and Cleethorpes, form the economic area known as "Greater Grimsby". The main sectors of the Greater Grimsby economy are food and drink; ports and logistics; renewable energy and chemicals and process industries. It is in transport by sea that the area has national significance. The two ports of Immingham and Grimsby, when combined, have the largest tonnage of freight of any UK port.
