Mattishall is a sizeable village and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England, set in a predominantly agricultural landscape a short drive west of Norwich and near Dereham. It functions as a local service centre with shops, pubs, schools and a health centre, and many residents commute to Norwich while small-scale farming and rural businesses remain part of the local economy.
The community has medieval roots centred on its parish church of St Peter and St Paul and shows a mix of historic thatched cottages and more recent housing. A lively village life includes clubs, fetes and conservation-minded projects that aim to preserve character even as the settlement adapts to modern pressures and growth.
