Mattishall is an electoral ward in the district of Breckland in Norfolk, England, centred on the sizeable village of Mattishall and the surrounding rural hamlets. It sits on the gentle arable landscape typical of the Breckland area, roughly between Dereham and Norwich, and combines the feel of a traditional farming community with the draw of commuter living.
The area has historic roots visible in its older buildings and parish church, a small cluster of local shops and traditional pubs, and an active community life with village halls, clubs and regular events. Economically the ward is a mix of agriculture and small local businesses, while good road and bus links make it popular with families and commuters; politically it returns representatives to the district council and reflects a largely residential, village-orientated social character.
