Smallburgh Rural District was a rural district in Norfolk, England from 1894 to 1974.[1]
It was formed under the Local Government Act 1894 based on the Smallburgh rural sanitary district. Lying to the south-east of North Walsham it originally had two small areas detached from it main body.
In 1935 it took in parts of Aylsham and Erpingham RDs, thus joining up into a single extent.
In 1974, the district was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972, and became part of the North Norfolk district.
