Spital-in-the-Street is a small hamlet in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the A15 road (Roman Ermine Street), 12 miles (19 km) north from Lincoln, 9 miles (14 km) east from Gainsborough, and 1 mile (1.6 km) north from the A15 and A631 crossroad at Caenby Corner. Nearby villages include Hemswell to the west, Glentham to the east, and Glentworth to the south-west.
The A15 road here forms a parish boundary, so the hamlet is divided between the civil parish of Hemswell Cliff (west of the A15) and the civil parish of Glentham to the east. Before Hemswell Cliff parish was formed in 1991, the western part of the hamlet was in Hemswell parish.
