Framingham Pigot is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is in the South Norfolk district, around 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of Norwich. At the 2001 census it contained 62 households and a population of 167,[1] the population reducing to 153 at the 2011 census.[2] It covers an area of 2.57 km2 (0.99 sq mi).

The A146 road passes through the parish, with the Old Feathers restaurant, Highway Nursery and Gull Inn public house along its route. To the south of the road is St. Andrew's Church, described as "one of the grandest and most ornate 19th Century churches in East Anglia".[3]

Ex-Norwich City goalkeeper and manager Bryan Gunn lived in Framingham Pigot until 2011,[4] and comedian and rapper Munya Chawawa (also known as Unknown P) lived in the village from the age of 11.[5]
