Keal Cotes, forming part of West Keal parish, is a small linear village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the A16 road, 1 mile (1.6 km) south of West Keal and 1 mile north of Stickford. The nearest market town is Spilsby, about 6 miles (10 km) to the north. Keal Cotes market day is on Mondays.

The village is at the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds north of the Fenlands, and approximately 25 miles (40 km) east from the city and county town of Lincoln, 11 miles (18 km) north-east from the market town of Boston, and 12 miles (19 km) west from the holiday resort of Skegness.

The remains of a substantial Roman villa or high status Romano-British farmhouse, the only one found in Lincolnshire, are in a large field at the south end of the village.

The name of the village is occasionally spelt on some maps as "Keal Coates".
