Neatishead (/ˈniːtstəd/ NEET-stəd)[1] is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The village is situated some 20 km (12 mi) north-east of the city of Norwich, within The Norfolk Broads and to the west of Barton Broad. Access to Neatishead from the broad is by way of Limekiln Dyke, a narrow channel leading off the broad.[2]

The civil parish has an area of 7.71 km² (2.98 sq mi) and in the 2001 census had a population of 537 in 235 households, the population increasing to 565 at the 2011 census.[3] For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of North Norfolk.[4]

It is famous due to the nearby RAF Neatishead radar station.
