Flempton is a village and civil parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk, England. It is on the A1101 road 5 miles NW from Bury St Edmunds.

Flempton takes its name from the Flemings who came from Flanders and settled the area in Anglo-Saxon times. The Domesday Book records the population of Flempton in 1086 to be 16 households.^[2] According to the 2011 census the parish had a population of 149 in 68 households.^[1]

St Catherine's church is a grade II* listed building whose tower was rebuilt in 1839 after it collapsed.^[3]

Flempton is grouped with Hengrave to form a parish council made up of eight members, four from each parish.^[4]

The East of England Regional Assembly was based in Flempton House until 2010. The former village pub is The Greyhound on The Green which closed in 2016.^[5] It is close to the River Lark.

Flempton Forge and nearby Forge Cottage are grade II listed buildings on The Green.^[6]^[7] The forge has recently been converted to a holiday let.^[8]
