Shelfanger Meadows is a 10.3abbr=offNaNabbr=off biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Diss in Norfolk.^{[1] [2]}

This site in the valley of a tributary of the River Waveney is described by Natural England as "one of the most important areas of unimproved grassland in Norfolk". It has been traditionally managed by a hay cut followed by grazing for hundreds of years, and as a result its flora is rich, including uncommon species. There are also areas where springs make the grassland marshy.^[3]

The site is private land with no public access.
