Billingford or Pirleston is a village in the civil parish of Scole, in the South Norfolk district of the county of Norfolk, England. It is south-west of Norwich and south-east of Diss.
The origin of the name 'Billingford' is uncertain, although it is certainly of Anglo-Saxon origin. The village is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as consisting of 21 households in the hundred of Earsham. At the time, Billingford was divided between the estates of the Abbey of St. Etheldreda, Ely and Roger of Rames.
Within the village is Billingford Windmill, which dates from the 18th-century and is in working order. This structure is Grade II listed.
Lieutenant Gordon Flowerdew, who was born in the village, was a Canadian recipient of the Victoria Cross. Flowerdew was killed directing a cavalry charge of C Squadron of Lord Strathcona's Horse on the Western Front of the First World War on 31 March 1918.
