South Reston is a village in the civil parish of Reston, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the A157 road 5 miles (8.0 km) south-east from the town of Louth.

In 1971 the parish had a population of 144.[1] The parish of South Reston was enlarged by the abolition of the parish of Castle Carlton on 1 April 1936.[2] On 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished and merged with North Reston to form "Reston".[3]

South Reston parish church was dedicated to Saint Edith; it was declared redundant by the Diocese of Lincoln in 1980, and demolished in 1982.[4] The 15th-century octagonal font remains in the churchyard, as a sundial, and is Grade II listed.[5]

The Hall is a Grade II listed brick farmhouse dating from the 17th century.[6]

South Reston school was built in 1858 and survived long enough to celebrate its centenary.[7]

There is also a Methodist church and a public house, the Waggon and Horses.
