South Wootton is a village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. Lying just to the east of King's Lynn and a short drive from the north‑west Norfolk coast and The Wash, it grew from a small agricultural settlement into a largely residential community during the 20th century while still retaining a handful of older buildings and a village‑centre feel.

Today the area is primarily residential with local schools, shops, a village hall and sports facilities, and many people commute into King's Lynn or further afield for work. Community life leans on local clubs, events and the surrounding countryside - quiet lanes, arable fields and easy access to coastal walks make it popular with families seeking a rural atmosphere close to urban amenities.
