Bramerton is a small riverside village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, sitting on the south bank of the River Yare about six miles south‑east of Norwich. Its setting of floodplain, farmland and former gravel pits (now lakes) gives a quietly picturesque feel and links it into the wider waterland network associated with the Norfolk Broads.

The parish is best known to scientists for Bramerton Pits, a geological site yielding early Pleistocene deposits that have influenced understanding of local prehistory, while socially it remains a small, largely residential community with agricultural roots, recreational fishing and boating, and the steady pull of commuting into Norwich for work and services. The village retains a historic, rural character that appeals to visitors and residents looking for a quieter riverside lifestyle.
