Cookley is a small rural civil parish in East Suffolk, Suffolk, England. Set in the gently rolling arable countryside typical of the county, it consists of farmland, lanes and a scattering of traditional cottages and farmsteads; agriculture remains the principal local industry, with many people also commuting to nearby market towns or working in small local enterprises.

The area has historic roots visible in older buildings and surviving field patterns, and the community is modest and close‑knit, organised around a parish council and occasional local events.
