Burton-upon-Stather is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. The village lies 5 miles (8.0 km) north from Scunthorpe, 5 miles north-west from Frodingham, and is near the east bank of the River Trent. The civil parish consists of Burton-upon-Stather and the hamlets of Normanby and Thealby; its population at 2001 was 2,737.^[1]

The term Stather is of Danish origin and implies a landing-stage. Up to 1914, the river landing was used as a calling place by steamers between Gainsborough and Hull.^[2]
