New Buckenham is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It covers an area of 1.73 km2 (0.67 sq mi) and had a population of 468 in 197 households as of the 2001 census. For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of Breckland.

The village lies between the towns of Diss and Attleborough. A fine example of a medieval town, it is centred on an ancient green and whipping post. Oddly, the village is close to Old Buckenham - a community that contains rather newer housing.

New Buckenham's calendar includes a traditional August Bank Holiday Fete.
