}}Dersingham is a village, civil parish and electoral ward in the English county of Norfolk. It is situated some {{convert|12|km}} north of the town of King's Lynn and {{convert|70|km|abbr=on}} north-west of the city of Norwich, opening onto The Wash.[1]

The civil parish has an area of {{convert|14.5|km2|abbr=on}} and in the 2001 census had a population of 4,502 in 2,110 households, the population increasing to 4,640 at the 2011 Census.[2] For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.[3]

Sandringham House, a favoured Royal residence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and several of her predecessors, lies just to the south of Dersingham in the parish of Sandringham. The Queen visited Dersingham Infant School to mark her Diamond Jubilee accession day on 6 February 2012.[4]

The Church of St Nicholas is a Grade I listed building.[5] The wooden parish chest, dating from the middle of the 14th century, is carved elaborately with the symbols of the four Evangelists; on the lid, there is part of an inscription.

The nearby Dersingham Bog National Nature Reserve, managed by Natural England (formerly English Nature), contains habitats ranging from marshland to heathland and woodland. Birds such as the redpoll, crossbill, long-eared owl, tree pipit, sparrowhawk and nightjar can be found there.[6]
