West Winch is an electoral ward and village on the southern edge of King's Lynn in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. Sitting on the flat fenland landscape a few miles from the coast of The Wash, it combines agricultural surroundings with convenient road links into King's Lynn and the wider A47 corridor.
The community retains a village hub with a primary school, parish church and small local shops, though recent years have seen housing growth as it has become increasingly commuter-oriented for nearby employment centres. Its character remains quietly rural, with historic buildings and parish‑centred social life complemented by countryside activities and local groups rather than heavy industry.
