Bagthorpe with Barmer is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It was created in 1934 from the hamlets and civil parishes of Bagthorpe and Barmer (both redirected here), and is situated some 15 km west of Fakenham and 20 km northeast of King's Lynn.

The civil parish has an area of 9.05 km2 and in the 2001 census had a population of 53 in 22 households. Because of its small size the population of the parish would have been counted with that of a neighbouring parish in the 2011 UK census. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the District of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.

Barmer All Saints is one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk.
