Bressingham is a small village and civil parish in the district of South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits in gently rolling agricultural countryside close to the Suffolk border and is within easy reach of Diss and the city of Norwich, so it feels rural while being well placed for the surrounding towns.

The village is best known for Bressingham Steam and Gardens, developed by plantsman Alan Bloom into a celebrated horticultural attraction with preserved steam engines and miniature railways; tourism from the gardens and museum complements traditional farming in the local economy. Bressingham retains historic touches such as its medieval church and a small, active community that runs local events and welcomes gardeners and steam enthusiasts alike.
