Gaywood Chase is a suburban electoral ward on the edge of King's Lynn in the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England. It is primarily residential, with a mix of post‑war council housing and later private developments, and sits close to the amenities of King's Lynn town centre while retaining local shops, schools and community facilities for day‑to‑day life.
Geographically the area benefits from nearby green space and the meandering River Gaywood, and its economy is linked into the larger service, retail and port activities of King's Lynn. Historically the ward grew as part of 20th‑century suburban expansion; today it is served by good road and rail connections to larger centres such as Norwich and Cambridge and hosts an active local community with neighbourhood groups and recreational provision.
