A measurement of the $^{54}$Fe($d$,$p$)$^{55}$Fe reaction at 16 MeV was performed using the Florida State University Super-Enge Split-Pole Spectrograph to determine single-neutron energies for the $2p_{3/2}$, $2p_{1/2}$, $1f_{5/2}$, $1g_{9/2}$ and $2d_{5/2}$ orbits. Two states were observed that had not been observed in previous (d, p) measurements. In addition, we made angular momentum transfer, \textit{L}, assignments to four states and changed \textit{L} assignments from previous ($d$, $p$) measurements for nine more states. The spin-orbit splitting between the $2p_{3/2}$ and $2p_{1/2}$ orbits is similar to that in the other $N=29$ isotones and not close to zero as a previous measurement suggested. While the $1f_{5/2}$ single neutron energy is significantly lower in $^{55}$Fe than in $^{51}$Ti, as predicted by a covariant density functional theory calculation, the single-neutron energy for this orbit in $^{55}$Fe is more than 1 MeV higher than the calculation suggests, although it is only 400 keV above the $2p_{1/2}$ orbit. The summed spectroscopic strength we observed for the $1g_{9/2}$ orbit up to the single-neutron separation energy of 9.3 MeV is only 0.3. This is surprising because the $1g_{9/2}$ orbit is predicted by Togashi \textit{et al.} to be located only 5.5 MeV above the $2p_{3/2}$ orbit.
