Norton Wood is a 24.8-hectare (61-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south-east of Norton in Suffolk, England.[1][2]

This ancient coppice with standards wood is on sand and loess over boulder clay. There are many pedunculate oak, hazel, ash and birch trees. The ground flora includes a number of uncommon plants such as oxlip.[3]

There is access by a public footpath which goes through the wood.
