Ealand is a small village in North Lincolnshire, England. It lies within the Isle of Axholme, 1 mile (1.6 km) south-east of Crowle, and 0.5 miles (0.8 km) north of the junction between the A161 and the A18.^[1]

The Stainforth and Keadby Canal and Crowle railway station are at the southern edge of Ealand. The A161, which previously ran through the village, has been diverted, and uses a new bridge over the parallel railway line and canal.

Ealand has a Primitive Methodist chapel,^[2] a war memorial, and the disused building of the previous New Trent Inn.^[3] It has two Grade II listed buildings, an early to mid-18th-century house on Ealand Outgate^[4] and early 19th-century Curlews farmhouse on the A161.^[5]

Immediately to the west of the A161 is Seven Lakes Leisure Park, sited on clay pits of the former Crowle Brickworks.

The UK headquarters of Hancock Properties is based in Ealand.
