Morton Hall is a small village located in the civil parish of Swinderby (where the population is included), in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 8 miles (13 km) south-west from the county town of Lincoln, and is centrally located between the nearby larger villages of Swinderby, Thorpe on the Hill, and Eagle Barnsdale.

Morton Hall is served by Swinderby railway station, just outside the village to the west. The separate hamlet of Morton is 0.5 miles (0.8 km) to the south-east.

Morton Hall Immigration Removal Centre is located in the village.[1] It was originally the site of an RAF base, which was converted into a prison in 1985. The facility was converted into an immigration removal centre in 2011.
