Bag Enderby is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Greetham with Somersby, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies just north of the A158 road, north-east from Horncastle and north-west from Partney. In 1931 the parish had a population of 29. On 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished and merged with Somersby.

Bag Enderby is little more than the buildings of Hall Farm, Ferndale Manor (which at one time was the rectory), a few cottages and a church.
