Somerleyton is a village near the River Waveney in north-eastern Suffolk, England within The Broads National Park.

Many of the houses consist of the model village built around a green that once belonged to the Somerleyton Estate, formerly the property of Morton Peto. Somerleyton Hall is still a private residence, and is open to the public.

The village has a County Primary school and a thatched combined post office and village shop. Somerleyton railway station is nearby, on the Norwich to Lowestoft line.

Somerleyton was the home of Christopher Cockerell while he invented the hovercraft
