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

Honingham is located 7 miles (11 km) east of Dereham and 8 miles (13 km) west of Norwich along the A47 and the River Tud.

"Hunningham"; "Hunningum"

A hoard of Iceni silver coins were found in the parish in 1954 which were likely buried during the Boudican Revolt of 60 AD.

Honingham's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for the homestead of Huna's people.

In the Domesday Book, Honingham is listed as a settlement of 22 households hundred of Forehoe. In 1086, the village was part of the East Anglian estates of Alan, Count of Brittany.

During the Second World War, parts of the parish became RAF Attlebridge which was used by No. 2 Group RAF, the 319th Bombardment Group and the 466th Bombardment Group.

According to the 2021 census, Honingham has a population of 374 people which shows an increase from the 358 people recorded in the 2011 census.
