Lintorf is a village at the transition of the Berg region into the lower Rhine plain in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

The old boundary lies in the northern edge of the approach lane of the Düsseldorf Airport (3 km runway).

Lintorf was the site of a displaced persons camp after World War II, providing a home for Ukrainians, Poles and Yugoslavs awaiting immigration.

The bodies of eight German anti-Nazis, one woman and two Polish men were found lying in woods near the town.

A rural scattered housing estate developed in the time after World War II from suburban residents of the surrounding cities, primarily from Düsseldorf (12 km).
