Croxton is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk, within the district of Breckland. Croxton is located 2.2 miles north of Thetford and 26 miles south-east of Norwich.

Croxton's name is of mixed Anglo-Saxon and Viking origin deriving from an amalgamation of the Old English and Old Norse for 'Krokr's' farmstead or settlement.

In the Domesday Book, Croxton is recorded as a settlement of 21 households in the hundred of Grimshoe. In 1086, the village was part of the estate of King William.

According to the 2011 Census, Croxton has 445 residents living in 194 households.

Croxton falls within the constituency of South West Norfolk in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Croxton's parish church is one of the 124 remaining Anglo-Saxon round-tower churches in Norfolk. The church was significantly remodelled in the 19th century and features a rare example of a Continental church spire.
