East Carleton is a small rural village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying roughly five miles south of Norwich. Set among rolling arable farmland and narrow country lanes, it retains a quiet, close‑knit character with scattered cottages and farmsteads rather than a built‑up centre.

The village has historic roots and a medieval parish church at its heart, and the local economy remains largely agricultural alongside a number of residents who commute into Norwich. Social life reflects the typical Norfolk mix of heritage and modern living, with occasional village events and community activity centred on the church and surrounding countryside.
