Boughton is a small rural civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. It sits in an agricultural landscape a short distance from the market town of King's Lynn and within easy reach of the Norfolk coast and The Wash, giving it a mix of arable fields, hedgerows and marshy edges that appeal to walkers and birdwatchers.
The village has a quiet, village-centred social life around traditional buildings and a parish church, with farming still important to the local economy and many residents commuting to nearby towns for work. Historic origins are visible in older houses and lanes, and the community retains a low-key, close-knit feel with occasional local events rather than busy commercial activity.
