Humberston Abbey is a Premonstratensian monastery situated in Lincolnshire, founded in the twelfth century. The abbey was established as a house of the Premonstratensian order, also known as the White Canons, and operated as a religious community until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. The site retains fragmentary remains of the monastic structures, reflecting the architectural traditions of the Premonstratensian order. As with many English monasteries, the abbey's lands and buildings passed into secular ownership following the Dissolution, and today the surviving physical remains constitute an important record of medieval religious life in the region.
