Shotesham Common is a 21.6-hectare (53-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of Norwich in Norfolk, England.[1][2]

This site consists of traditionally managed meadows with a variety of grassland types, ranging from permanently wet marshes on the valley bottom, where a stream runs through, to drier grassland on the slopes. There are several uncommon species of flora.[3]

A public footpath goes through the common.
