Gorefield is a small village and civil parish in the district of Fenland, in Cambridgeshire, England, lying on the wide, flat landscape of the Fens not far from the market town of Wisbech. It formed as part of the drained fenland agricultural settlement and retains that low-lying, open character with visible drains and dykes punctuating pasture and arable fields.
Locally the economy is largely agricultural, with many residents also commuting to nearby towns; the village has a modest community life centred on its hall and parish amenities, and its history reflects the 19th-century fen-reclamation and rural development that shaped much of the surrounding area.
