Waithe (or Waythe) is a hamlet and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the A16, 1 mile (1.6 km) south from Holton-le-Clay and 1 mile (1.6 km) north from North Thoresby.

In the Domesday account Waithe is written as "Wade",[1] and was one of the 398 properties assigned to Ilbert of Lacy.[2]

The village is the site of a deserted medieval village, indicated by earthworks, trackways and ditch enclosures, and 13th- to 18th-century pottery finds.[3]

In 1885 Kelly's Directory reported that agricultural production in the then 780 acres (3.2 km2) parish was chiefly wheat, oats, turnips and barley, farmed under a four-field system.[4]

Waithe Grade I listed redundant church is dedicated to St Martin.[5] The church was rebuilt in 1861 by James Fowler of Louth, leaving only the Early English nave arcades and tower as elements of an earlier Saxon cruciform church.[6][7] The church was repaired and conserved in 2005.[8]

Other listed structures include Grade II Waithe Water Mill, dating from 1813.[9]
