Framlingham is a market town and civil parish in Suffolk, England. Of Anglo-Saxon origin, it is mentioned in the Domesday Book. It has a population of around 4,500. Nearby villages include Earl Soham, Kettleburgh, Parham, Saxtead and Sweffling.

The medieval Castle is a major feature. The town is also home to a secondary school, independent school Framlingham College and Framlingham Town F.C.. The town has the two oldest functioning Post Office pillar boxes in the UK, dating from 1856. These are located on Double Street and College Road. It is also home to one of the smallest houses in Britain, known as the “Check House”. Converted into a two-storey residence of almost 29 square metres, the former bookmakers office is in the Mauldens Mill Estate in the town centre. The ground floor measures 20 feet (6.1 m) by 7 feet 3 inches (2.21 m). In 2006, Country Life magazine voted this beautiful town the number one place to live in the country.
