Bylaugh is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is north-east of Dereham and north-west of Norwich. The parish is bounded to the south by the River Wensum and is sparsely populated, with no core settlement. The parish is dominated by Bylaugh Hall and its associated parkland.
== History == Bylaugh's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin, at in Domesday Book it is recorded as a settlement of 14 households in the hundred of Eynesford which was part of the estates of Alan of Brittany. The village appears to have been prosperous in to the 14th century, but had declined by the mid-15th century and was deserted at some point after this. No clear site for a deserted medieval village is known and there is no obvious reason for the decline of the settlement.
