Itteringham is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk, some northwest of the market town of Aylsham. It covers an area of 8.2km2 and had a population of 136 in 60 households at the 2001 census,[1] the population reducing to 125 at the 2011 Census.[2] For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of North Norfolk.

The villages name origin is uncertain perhaps, 'homestead/village of Ytra's/Ytri's people' or 'homestead/village of the Ytteringas (= those dwelling outside)'.

Itteringham lies in the valley of the River Bure that eventually becomes a major part of the Norfolk Broads. The village has a pub, the Walpole Arms[3] and a village shop. The converted watermill is a historical feature within the village. Mannington Hall is included in the parish.

The poet George Barker lived in the village and is buried in the churchyard.
