Norton Juxta Kempsey is a small civil parish in the district of Wychavon, in Worcestershire, England, sitting just south of Worcester and immediately next to the village of Kempsey.

The name "juxta" literally means "next to", reflecting its long association with neighbouring Kempsey, and the parish retains a mix of historic buildings, traditional cottages and modern homes.
