Saxby All Saints is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 385. It is situated 6 miles (9.7 km) north from Brigg and 4 miles (6.4 km) south-west from Barton upon Humber.

Saxby All Saints is a conservation area, and one of the five Low Villages – Worlaby, Bonby, Saxby All Saints, Horkstow and South Ferriby, between Brigg and the River Humber – so-called because of their position below the northern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

According to Mills, Saxby probably either derives its name from a "farmstead or village of a man called Saksi", an Old Scandinavian person name, or from "Saksar" (Saxons).

The village appears in the Domesday survey as "Saxebi", in the Yarborough Hundred of the North Riding of Lindsey. It comprised 10 households, with 8 villagers, 2 freemen, 3 fisheries, and 7½ ploughlands. The lords in 1066 were Siward and Thorgisl. By 1086 the land had passed to Roger as Lord of the Manor, with Ivo Taillebois as Tenant-in-chief.
