Mendlesham Green is a small hamlet in the district of Mid Suffolk in Suffolk, England, set among rolling arable fields a few miles from the market town of Stowmarket. It grew up around common land and lanes and retains a distinctly rural character of scattered cottages, farmsteads and small greens; a nearby former airfield, Mendlesham Airfield, recalls the area's wartime role and now forms part of the local landscape.
Locally, agriculture still underpins the economy while many residents commute to larger centres such as Stowmarket and Ipswich. Community life is typical of Suffolk hamlets, centred on village events, local pubs and volunteer groups in neighbouring Mendlesham, and the quiet lanes and surrounding countryside make the area popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
