North Pickenham is a small village in the district of Breckland, Norfolk. It lies three miles, as the crow flies, from the market town of Swaffham.

​

At the 2001 census it had a population of 500 and an area of 1,015 hectares (3.92 square miles)

The River Wissey cuts through the village at Houghton Lane bridge, following the course of Meadow Lane, close to the river's source at Bradenham. Its sister village South Pickenham is two miles away through pretty, narrow country lanes.
