Geldeston is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk.

Geldeston is located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north-west of Beccles and 14 miles (23 km) south-east of Norwich, on the north bank of the River Waveney.

Geldeston's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for Gyldi's farmstead or settlement.
