Sutton Heath and Bog is an 18.3 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Wansford in Cambridgeshire.[1][2]

This site has two types of grassland, both of which are rare in Cambridgeshire. They are calcareous grassland on Jurassic limestone and base-poor marshy neutral grassland. The base poor areas have a diverse variety of plant species, including some which are locally uncommon.[3]

The site is private land but a public footpath runs through the northern end.
