Shipmeadow is a village and civil parish located in the north of the English county of Suffolk. It is in the East Suffolk district, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of Bungay and the same distance west of Beccles on the B1062 road.[2] Norwich is 15 miles (24 km) to the north-west.
At the 2011 United Kingdom census the parish had a population of 140.[1] The parish council operates jointly with Barsham.[3] The parishes share a village hall, but Shipmeadow has no services, with the parish church being sold for use as private housing in 1980.[4][5]
The River Waveney runs to the north of the parish, with the northern section of the parish within the area of The Broads National Park.[4] The parish borders the parishes of Mettingham, Barsham, Ilketshall St John and Ilketshall St Andrew. The Norfolk parishes of Ellingham and Geldeston border the parish on the northern bank of the Waveney.[1]
