Ipswich ( ) is a port town and borough in Suffolk, England, located on the River Orwell. It is the county town, and largest in Suffolk, followed by Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds, and the third-largest population centre in East Anglia, after Peterborough and Norwich. It is 65 miles (105 km) northeast of London.
In 2025, Ipswich had a population of 139,457, making it the fourth-largest in the East of England and the 42nd-largest in England and Wales. It is surrounded by the towns and villages of Kesgrave, Woodbridge, Bramford and Martlesham Heath.
Ipswich was first recorded during the medieval period as Gippeswic; the town has also been recorded as Gyppewicus and Yppswyche. It has been continuously inhabited since the Saxon period, and is believed to be one of the oldest towns in the United Kingdom.
The settlement was of great economic importance to the Kingdom of England throughout its history, particularly in trade, with the town's historical dock, Ipswich Waterfront, known as the largest and most important dock in the Kingdom.
