Buxton with Lamas is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. ^[2] It includes the villages of Buxton to the west of the River Bure, Lamas on the eastern side of the river, and the hamlet of Little Hautbois.

The River Bure is crossed by the Bure Valley Railway on a 105-foot (32 m) long girder bridge. Buxton has a halt on the railway. The former railway station on the Great Eastern Railway was called Buxton Lamas and closed in the 1960s. Buxton Watermill is on the river. ^[3]

For local government purposes, the two villages jointly elect Buxton with Lamas Parish Council, and fall within the area covered by Broadland District Council. The civil parish had a population of 1,684 at the 2011 census.
