Shimpling is a village and civil parish in south Suffolk, England. Located around 7 miles from Bury St Edmunds, it is part of Babergh district. The village is essentially split into two halves, the newer Shimpling Street and around 2 miles away the actual village of Shimpling.

The village has a small parish church, famous as being the site where supermodel Claudia Schiffer was married.[2] The parish also contains part of the Kentwell Woods SSSI, defined as ancient woodland
