Gazeley is a village and civil parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk in eastern England and is part of the West Suffolk UK Parliament constituency. In 2005 it had a population of 740.[1] A house converted from a windmill survives in the village. The surnames of Gazeley, Gazley and Gazlay derive from this source.

The name of Gazeley means almost exactly that. Gaze at Ely... This City can be seen from the highest point of the village, heading towards Moulton.
