Nacton Meadows is a 4.5 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-west of Levington in Suffolk.[1][2] It is in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty[3]

This site has fen meadow and grasslands. Wetter areas have more diverse flora, including Yorkshire-fog, crested dog's tail, sharp-flowered rush, greater bird's-foot-trefoil and the uncommon marsh arrowgrass.[4]

A public footpath from Levington goes through the site.
