Calthorpe Broad is an isolated broad within The Broads National Park, three miles north east of Stalham, Norfolk, England.

Natural England manages it as a national nature reserve, one of over 200 NNRs. It is only 44 hectares, but is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) because of its plant life.[1] It is detached from the main network of broads and rivers, but is part of the River Thurne catchment area.
