Corton is a village and civil parish in the north of the English county of Suffolk.

It is 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the centre of Lowestoft in the East Suffolk district.

The roads meet at a junction near the Pleasurewood Hills theme park, located just south of the parish boundary in Gunton.

Corton is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Caretuna or Karetuna, a name probably derived from the Viking name Kari.

[10]A lightvessel operated 6 miles (9.7 km) off the coast at Corton from the 1860s until the 20th-century protecting shipping from an area of sandbanks.

[13][14][15] The parish church is dedicated to St Bartholomew, and is a partial ruin, with only the chancel roofed.

The church was built in the medieval period, with some 14th-century stonework remaining, and may have been founded by John de Dersham, the abbot of Leiston Abbey.
