Wordwell is a small village and civil parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk, England, about five miles north of Bury St Edmunds.

The village was hit by the Black Death in 1348 and never recovered in terms of population; in 2005 it was estimated to have only 20 residents.

The village is mentioned as Wridewellan in the S1225 charter of 1040 AD where Thurketel grants the lands to Bury Abbey.

A mass grave, probably from the time of the Black Death, was found when electricity was provided to the church.
