Debenham is a village and civil parish located 11 miles (18 km) north of Ipswich[2] in the Mid Suffolk district of Suffolk, England.[3] The River Deben rises in the parish, and flows along a prolonged ford through the village.[4]

In 1086, Debenham was a comparatively large village of 69 households in the hundred of Claydon.[5]

At the 2001 census the parish population was recorded as 1,728[6] increasing to 2,210 at the 2011 census though including the parishes of Aspall and Winston. It is currently estimated to be 2,274.[7]

In 1991, Prince Alexandre of Belgium was married in the village, however the marriage was kept a secret until 1998.[8]

In November 2020, filming on the thriller movie Confession started at Debenham Church. The film stars Colm Meaney.[9]
