Hardingham is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The civil parish also includes the hamlet of Danemoor Green, located about one mile north-east of the village.
The parish also includes the location of the medieval settlement of Flockthorpe, which was probably abandoned due to the ravages of the Black Death.[4]
In the Sixteenth Century, Sir Thomas Gresham built a moated residence in Hardingham.[5]

Hardingham Railway Station opened in 1847 as a stop on the Wymondham-Dereham Railway Line. The station closed to passengers in 1969 but still operates periodically on the Mid-Norfolk Railway.
