Choseley is a tiny hamlet and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is situated between the villages of Titchwell and Docking and about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from each. The town of Fakenham is 20 km (12 mi) to the southeast, the town of King's Lynn is 25 km (16 mi) to the southwest, and the city of Norwich is 60 km (37 mi) to the southeast.
The civil parish has an area of 2.75 km2 (1.06 sq mi) and in the 2001 UK census had a population of 18 in 10 households. At the 2011 Census the population remained less than 100 and was counted along with that of the neighbouring civil parish of Beachamwell. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the District of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Choseley from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1871-72:
- "CHOSELEY, an extra-parochial tract, in Docking [registration] district, Norfolk, 5½ miles W of Burnham-Westgate. Population: 7. House: 1."
