Tacolneston is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England, set in rolling arable countryside about eight miles south of Norwich. Traditionally agricultural, it combines farming with a commuter population and retains a compact, village-centred social life.

The village is perhaps best known for the Tacolneston transmitter, a prominent radio mast and regional landmark that carries national FM and digital services. Tacolneston also features a medieval parish church, a primary school and active local groups; its roots reach back to the Domesday era, giving a mix of long-standing rural heritage and contemporary commuter influences.
