St Nicholas South Elmham is a place and former civil parish in the north of the English county of Suffolk.

The parish was combined with All Saints' South Elmham in 1737 to form the parish of All Saints and St. Nicholas, South Elmham.

It is 5 miles (8.0 km) south of the market town of Bungay in the East Suffolk district.

[3] The main area of population in St Nicholas is spread along the road leading from around St Margaret South Elmham to the site of the former parish church.

[2][4] The church of St Nicholas was in ruins by the 17th-century and by the early 20th-century only a cross survived marking the position of the building.
