Butlers Cross is a crossroads on the A149 and the B1439 in Babingley, south of Dersingham, Norfolk.
At the site is the remains of a medieval standing stone cross, consisting of the base and a fragment of the shaft, set on a modern plinth of stone and tile with a plaque and surrounded by remains of a rusty iron fence. It once marked the boundary of Rising Chase. The name of the cross derives from the de Boteler family who held the manor of West Hall, Babingley from the 13th century.
