Swallow is a small village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, on the A46 road 4 miles north-east from Caistor. The population taken at the 2011 census was 289.
The name Swallow has been variously written as Sualan , Suawa, Swalwe and Swalewe . The Oxford Dictionary of Place Names equates the name with Swale, suggesting that the village is called after a fast-moving river of that name, with eau being French for water. Bob Willey, who used to live in the village, put forward the theory that it is closer to the German schwall, meaning "flood" and suggesting that water gathered on the clay bottom land below the fast-draining chalky hills.
