Runcton Holme is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England, lying a few miles from King's Lynn in the low-lying Fenland. The surrounding landscape is dominated by drained agricultural plains, a network of ditches and channels that feed into the River Great Ouse, with remnants of wetland and reedbeds that attract a variety of birdlife.
With medieval roots, the village retains historic buildings and a rural character; its economy is largely agricultural, supplemented by commuters working in nearby towns. Community life is typically close-knit, centred on local events and village facilities, and the flat fenland scenery and waterways make it a quiet spot for walkers and birdwatchers.
