Wingfield is a village in the English county of Suffolk. It is found 7 miles (11 km) east of Diss, signposted off B1118, near Eye. It’s likely the name originates from Anglo-Saxon. The Old English word "winga" means a turn, corner or bend in the land and "feld" means field.

The village has scattered buildings and includes several old houses such as the Grade II listed 16th-century former farmhouse "Old Hall" and the 14th-century Grade II listed "White House."

The most prominent family in the area was the Wingfield family, who took their surname after the village.

The village has a pub, The De La Pole Arms, across the road from the church.
