Walsingham Rural District was a rural district in the county of Norfolk, England. It was created in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894 based on the Walsingham rural sanitary district. On 1 April 1935 it was enlarged by the addition of the parishes of Hindolveston, Thurning and Wood Norton (from the disbanded Aylsham Rural District), and Briston (from the Erpingham Rural District).

On 1 April 1974 it was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972, and has since formed part of the District of North Norfolk.

The Ordnance Survey Map of 1900 supplied by A Vision of Britain through Time will assist in identifying the location of the individual parishes.
