Asphodel–Norwood is a township municipality in Peterborough County in Central Ontario, Canada, with a 2016 population of 4,109. The land on which the township is situated was the traditional territory of the Mississauga, and became open to European colonization following its survey in 1821. Norwood was incorporated as a village in 1878. The township, in its current form, was created in 1998 by the reunion of the village of Norwood with the surrounding township of Asphodel.

Fronted by the north shore of the Trent River, the terrain of the township is comprised mostly of short hills. The symbol of the township is its namesake asphodel flower. Hockey has formed a core part of township life, with minor league teams being formed as early as the 1920s. The annual Norwood Fair draws many visitors to the area.
