Fleggburgh is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The parish was created in 1935 from the existing civil parishes of Burgh St. Margaret, Billockby and Clippesby and is sometimes still known as Burgh St. Margaret. Fleggburgh has an area of 12.04 km2 (4.65 sq mi) and in the 2001 UK census had a population of 909 in 397 households, the population increasing to 948 in the 2011 census. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of Great Yarmouth.

Fleggburgh lies between Acle and Great Yarmouth and to the west of the Trinity Broads complex within the Broads National Park, some 12 km (7.5 mi) northwest of the town of Great Yarmouth and 25 km (16 mi) east of the city of Norwich.

The map of the parishes of East and West Flegg Hundred shows that Burgh St. Margaret had two detached parts with the parish of Billockby separating them. Clippesby wraps around the other two on the northwest. It is easy to see why the three parishes should have been merged and renamed.
