Barwick is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is situated adjacent to the slightly larger village of Stanhoe, some 30 km northeast of the town of King's Lynn and 60 km north west of the city of Norwich.
The civil parish has an area of 5.27 km² and in the 2001 UK census had a population of 21 in 8 households. At the 2011 UK census the population remained less than 100 and was counted with that of the civil parish of Docking. 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 Barwick from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1871-72:
