Trunch is a village and civil parish in Norfolk, England, situated three miles north of North Walsham and two miles from the coast at Mundesley. At the 2011 UK census the village had a population of 909. The parish covers an area of 5.5 square kilometres (2.1 sq mi).

Trunch Parish Church is the Grade I listed 14th-century church of St Botolph. The church is famous for its carved and painted wood font canopy featuring lower panels with paintings of the twelve Apostles, a cornice including a Latin inscription, and above six arches filled with tracery. Only four such canopies still exist in England. St Botolph's also features a hammerbeam roof with carved angels, as well as medieval misericords under the seats in the chancel. Another medieval survival is the rood screen depicting 11 disciples and St. Paul (their faces were scratched out during the Reformation). Lord Nelson's daughter is said to have been married in the church.
