Edingthorpe is a small village in the county of Norfolk, England, about 10 miles (16 km) south-east of Cromer. Edingthorpe civil parish was added to Bacton civil parish under the County of Norfolk Review Order, 1935.

The villages name means 'Eadgyth's outlying farm/settlement', a feminine personal name. Spellings show confusion with another feminine personal name, Eadgifu.[1]

Its church, All Saints, is one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk, although it has a rare octagon top.
