Feltwell is a village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England, lying close to the Norfolk–Suffolk border. Set within the open arable landscape of the Brecks, the village has a compact historic core with a medieval parish church and a mixture of traditional farmhouses and more modern housing that reflect its rural roots and gradual growth.
Agriculture remains important to the local economy, while nearby RAF Feltwell has long been a notable presence, providing local jobs and a link to wider military history; the base has been used for communications and support roles by visiting forces. The community maintains a village hall, school and regular local events, so village life combines quiet rural character with the social connections of a small but active community.
