Quadring is a small village and civil parish in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire. It lies on the A152, 2 miles (3.2 km) north-east of Gosberton, and 2 miles south-east of Donington.

The village includes the community of Barholme to its south-west.

The A152 (as Main Road within the village) transects Quadring and provides links to Spalding, Boston, Donington and Gosberton.
