Stowgate is a small settlement in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 2 miles (3 km) north-east from Deeping St James, and is linked to the Deepings group of villages.

The settlement grew up around Stowgate Farm the farmhouse of which still exists which was divided into a number of smaller farms intended to provide housing and agricultural land for those who contributed to war effort. These farms still exist.
