Mitford and Launditch Rural District was a rural district in Norfolk, England from 1894 to 1974.

It was formed under the Local Government Act 1894 based on the Mitford and Launditch rural sanitary district, taking its name from the two ancient hundreds of Mitford and Launditch. It completely encircled the urban district made up of the town of East Dereham.

The rural district only included Mitford and Launditch Hundreds in its name, but geographically it also included parishes formerly in the southern part of Eynesford or Eynsford Hundred.

The district was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972 and became part of the Breckland District. The Ordnance Survey Map of 1900 supplied by A Vision of Britain through Time will assist in identifying the location of the individual parishes.
