Spital-in-the-Street is a small hamlet in Lincolnshire, England. It is on the Roman Ermine Street (hence the suffix), which forms the modern A15 road, near its junction with the A631 road, known as Caenby Corner, 12 miles (19 km) north of Lincoln. The first part of its name, "Spital", comes from the ancient hospital for the poor which was situated there, this had its origins in a Hermitage.
