Owston Ferry is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. It lies on the west bank of the River Trent, 9 miles (14 km) north of Gainsborough, and has a total resident population of 1,128.^[1]

Sometimes referred to in short as Owston or Ferry, the village, which forms part of the Isle of Axholme, is bounded to the west by the A161 road and the village of Haxey. The River Trent is directly to the east. To the north, beyond a number of hamlets and villages, lies the River Humber. West Butterwick was originally a part of the township of Owston.

Owston Ferry is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Ostone". Owston Ferry Castle, also known as Kinnard's Ferry Castle, was a motte-and-bailey fortification from the 12th century. It lay on the site of an earlier, Roman castrum. It was dismantled by order of Henry II of England in 1175-76 following the Revolt of 1173â€“1174.
