Barham /ˈbærəm/ ⓘ BARR-əm is a village and civil parish in the City of Canterbury district of Kent, England.

The name Barham was spelt Bioraham in 799, from Biora (derived from Beora, a Saxon chief) and Ham ("settlement" or "homestead").

The Nailbourne, a tributary of the Little Stour, rises in Lyminge and flows intermittently in line with the seasons and rainfall through the centre of the village.

On The Street is the village green sports field, the Duke of Cumberland public house, and a care home.

Out Elmstead, the most residential of the three parish outliers in terms of the anciently named hamlets, contains a farm nursery.
