Keisby is a small hamlet in the district of South Kesteven, in Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 6 miles (10 km) north-west from Bourne and 9 miles (14 km) south-east from Grantham. It is in the civil parish of Lenton, Keisby and Osgodby.

Keisby comes from an Old Norse term meaning "Kisi's farmstead or village". The village is mentioned in the Domesday account, and has had different spellings over the years, from Chisebi to Kisebi and Kysebi.

The English surname Kisby (and variants) is believed to originate from Keisby.
