Halvergate is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk, north of Reedham.,[1] halfway between the Rivers Bure and Yare, within The Broads National Park.

It covers an area of 24.65 km2 (9.52 sq mi) and had a population of 468 in 202 households as of the 2001 census.[2] For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of Broadland.
