Rattlesden is a rural ward in the district of Mid Suffolk in Suffolk, England, set among rolling arable fields and hedgerows typical of the county. It lies in the countryside between the market towns of Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds, with a patchwork of lanes, public footpaths and small woodlands that make it popular for walking and cycling.
The area is largely agricultural, dotted with historic farmhouses and a village core that retains a medieval parish church and several listed buildings. Local life revolves around community groups, a village hall and the occasional fete or event, while many residents commute to nearby towns; conservation interests and a strong sense of local history also play a part in village identity.
