Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust is an NHS trust that provides community services to a population of about 882,000 in Norfolk, England. It was established under the Transforming Community Services initiative and includes the community services previously run by Norfolk Primary Care Trust.

The trust employs 2,250 full-time equivalent staff members. Roisin Fallon-Williams became the chief executive in March 2015, succeeding Michael Scott. Lisa Christensen, former head of Norfolk County Council's children's services department, resigned as a non-executive member of the board in November 2014.

In October 2015, Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust, along with West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust and Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust, took over the provision of community care in Suffolk from Serco as part of a joint venture.

The trust was rated outstanding by the Care Quality Commission in 2018 for its notable examples of outstanding practice.
