Benacre Broad is an isolated body of water on the North Sea coast of the English county of Suffolk. It is located in the parish of Benacre, Suffolk about 5.75 miles (9 km) south of Lowestoft and 5 miles (8 km) north of Southwold. The village of Covehithe is just to the south, Kessingland to the north.
The broad is part of Benacre NNR, a National Nature Reserve established by English Nature. Whilst the broads system came about through peat digging in the Middle Ages, Benacre broad was formed in a shallow valley when glacial drift blocked off the outflow to the sea.
