Ingoldisthorpe is a village and civil parish in northwest corner of the English county of Norfolk. It is located approximately 9 miles (14 km) northeast of the town King's Lynn and 37 miles (60 km) from the county town of Norwich.
The civil parish has an area of 5.63 km2 (2.17 sq mi) and in the 2001 UK census had a population of 780 in 336 households, the population increased to 849 at the 2011 UK census when the small neighbouring parish of Shernborne with a population of less than 100 inhabitants was counted in.
