West Flegg is an electoral ward in the borough of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England, covering a largely low‑lying, rural patch of parishes just inland from the coast. The landscape is marked by reclaimed marshland, farmland, drainage dykes and small villages, with ready access to the nearby Norfolk Broads and the seafront at Great Yarmouth.
Locally the ward combines agricultural activity and small businesses with commuter households travelling into Great Yarmouth and Norwich, while village life remains centred on parish churches, community halls and occasional fairs. Its history of medieval parishes and marsh reclamation, together with coastal defences and nature areas, gives the area a mix of quiet rural character and modest tourism interest.
