Felbrigg Hall is a 17th-century country house located in Felbrigg, Norfolk, England. Part of a National Trust property, the unaltered 17th-century house is noted for its Jacobean architecture and fine Georgian interior. Outside the house are a walled garden, an orangery and orchards.

Felbrigg Garden has a dual personality. The West Garden is laid out in the style of a typical Victorian pleasure ground, arranged around an 18th-century orangery.

The last owner of the house before it passed into National Trust ownership was Mr Robert Ketton-Cremer. The original heir, Robert Ketton-Cremer's brother Richard, was killed in action in the Second World War. A memorial to Richard Ketton-Cremer was constructed in the woods behind the house by Robert.

Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer wrote a number of books, particularly about Norfolk, including Norfolk in the Civil War, Faber, 1969. There he indicates his health is failing
