The River Ingol is a small river in the west of the county of Norfolk.

The source of the river can be found a little to the west of the village of Shernborne. From Shernborne the river flows across agricultural land towards Snettisham.

On the river at Snettisham there stands a watermill. This was built in 1800 for £800 at a time when bread was scarce and it was built by the community of Snettisham for the people of the village. It is belived that the present mill was built on an existing site although virtually no records have so far been found apart from the fact that Thomas Stonne was a Snettisham miller in 1626. At the time of Domesday there were seven mills in Snettisham more than in any other Norfolk village. Today's mill is very small and originally consisted of a single small structure built of local dark brown carrstone with a pantiled roof. In 1877 machinery was improved and a granary and waggon store were added to the complex. The mill had three pairs of stones and unusually the larger two pairs were driven from above and the smaller pair from below, the latter pair required less power and was used when water levels were low. The mill worked on until 1940 producing flour and after that was used for animal feed production until 1960.

From Snettisham the river flows agin across open agricultural land. The rivers course has been modified but there are no embankments or flood defence structures to date. The lowere most reaches of the river run parallel to the coastline were the river backs up into a series of ponds and tidal flaps, discharging into the sea at low tide.
