Thurgarton[1] is a village in the North Norfolk district of the English county of Norfolk. It lies 6½ miles north of Aylsham and 5½ miles south-west of Cromer, and was in the Erpingham Hundred. It forms part of the civil parish of Aldborough.

The church of All Saints, has a thatched roof but no tower - the tower having collapsed in the 1880s. It is closed to the public but in a good state of repair.

Thurgarton House (sometimes called Thurgarton Old Hall) is the seat of the Spurrell family, who have lived at Thurgarton for almost 500 years; it was rebuilt in conservative style in 1733.[2] Formerly Thurgarton had a windmill, reached from Church Lane.[3]

In 1969, poet George Barker, who lived at nearby Itteringham, published a poem called At Thurgarton Church.
