Barsham is a village and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of the English county of Suffolk. It is about 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Beccles, south of the River Waveney on the edge of The Broads National Park. It is spread either side of the B1062 Beccles to Bungay road.[2]

At the 2011 United Kingdom census the parish had a population of 215.[1] The parish council is jointly operated with neighbouring Shipmeadow,[3] with the two parishes sharing a village hall. Other than this and the parish church, there are no services in the parish.[2]

The parish borders the parishes of Beccles, Shipmeadow, Ringsfield and Ilketshall St Andrew. The River Waveney marks the county boundary with Norfolk and the parishes of Geldeston and Gillingham border Barsham to the north of the river.[1]
