St Felix's Church, Babingley is a ruined medieval church located in Norfolk, England, situated in the parish of Babingley near King's Lynn. The church dates primarily to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, though the site has earlier ecclesiastical associations, possibly connected to Saint Felix of Burgundy who evangelised East Anglia in the seventh century. The surviving remains include substantial sections of flint and stone walling, characteristic of Norfolk medieval church construction, though the building is now roofless and in a fragmentary condition. The church was abandoned by the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century and has been in ruins for several centuries, yet it remains an important record of medieval parochial organisation and building practices in Norfolk.
