Rauceby Hospital, originally known as Kesteven County Asylum, was a mental institution located in the parish of Quarrington, Lincolnshire, England. It was established in 1897 and officially opened as Kesteven County Asylum on 20 June 1902. The hospital was designed by architect George Thomas Hine in an "echelon layout". The gardens were designed by William Goldring.
In 1924, the facility was renamed Kesteven Mental Hospital and later became Rauceby Mental Hospital in 1933. During World War II, the hospital was taken over by the Royal Air Force and renamed No.4 RAF Hospital Rauceby. It served as a crash and burns unit under the control of nearby RAF Cranwell. Notably, plastic surgeon Archibald McIndoe worked at the hospital, treating aircrew injured on operations. The hospital closed in 1997 and the site has since been redeveloped.
