Thornton Curtis is a village and parish in the North Lincolnshire district of Lincolnshire, England, about 5 miles (8.0 km) south-east of the town of Barton-upon-Humber.

The name Thornton is from the Old English thorn+tun, meaning "village where thorn trees grow." In the 1086 Domesday Book the name is written as "Torentune". The origin of the Curtis part of the village name is unknown.

The village is served by Thornton Abbey railway station.
