Needham Market is a small historic market town in Mid Suffolk, Suffolk, England, set on the banks of the River Gipping between Ipswich and Stowmarket. It developed from a medieval market hub into a modest 19th-century industrial centre and still shows a compact town centre of Georgian and Victorian buildings, riverside walks and a railway station on the Ipswich–Ely line.
Today the town has a strong community feel: independent shops and pubs, local clubs and an amateur theatre and football side, and it functions as a popular commuter and family location. Surrounded by rolling arable countryside, Needham Market is often appreciated for its mix of local events, heritage and relatively peaceful village atmosphere.
