Tivetshall St Margaret is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Tivetshall, in the South Norfolk district, in the county of Norfolk, England. It covered an area of 1,700 acres (690 ha) and had a population of 266 in 104 households at the 2001 census, increasing to 295 at the 2011 Census. On 1 April 2019 the parish was merged with Tivetshall St Mary to form Tivetshall.
The villages name means 'Nook of land'. It has been suggested that the first element may be related to a late northern English dialectical, 'tewhit' meaning 'lapwing'. 'St. Margaret' from the church dedication.
