Great Massingham is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It has a primary school (including a pre-school in the grounds), a village shop, a pub (Dabbling Duck), a village hall and a church (St Mary's). There is also a sports club, the Great Massingham Tennis and Multi-sports club. The village is notable for the number of ponds: two large ones in the village centre and more in the outskirts. The number of ducks is reflected on the badge of the village school.

The village's name means "homestead/village of Maessa's people".

Note - The school emblem no longer has ducks on it, it is now a tree much to the dismay of the locals^{[citation needed]}
