Alnham is a hamlet in the Cheviot Hills in Northumberland. It is found about fourteen miles west of Alnwick. The River Aln rises here, and gives a name to the village, as it does to the county town, Alnwick.

The parish church is the Church of St Michael. Just to the west stands Alnham Vicars Pele, a 14th-century pele tower, which was restored from a ruinous state in the 19th century.
