Bodney is a former civil parish, now in the parish of Hilborough, in the Breckland District of the English county of Norfolk. It is north of Thetford and west of Norwich. In 1931 the parish had a population of 70. The village has virtually disappeared with only a few houses remaining.
Parts of the parish lie within the Stanford Training Area, a military training area operated by the Ministry of Defence since 1942. On the edge of the training area Bodney Camp serves as a military camp, including for members of the Household Cavalry during their summer trip to Norfolk. Old Bodney Camp, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is within the area of the former parish, near to the site of Bodney Camp.
