Witnesham is a small village and civil parish in East Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits a few miles north of Ipswich in gently rolling East Anglian countryside, close to the valley of the River Fynn, and combines the feel of a traditional agricultural settlement with convenient road links into the county town.

With medieval roots and a compact village core, Witnesham retains a parish church and a number of historic buildings while modern life is marked by a mix of farming, small local businesses and commuters who work in nearby towns. Community activity centres on the village hall, local clubs and occasional events, giving it a distinctly rural Suffolk character despite its proximity to urban amenities.
