Brent Pelham is a village in eastern Hertfordshire. It shares a parish with nearby Meesden as "Brent Pelham and Meesden".

The villages of Brent Pelham, Stocking Pelham and Furneaux Pelham are together known as the Pelhams.

Near St Mary's church are ancient stocks which could accommodate up to three people at once. A derelict windmill survives in the village.

There is a First World War Royal Observer Corp observor post just outside of the village, which now lies in a state of disrepair. It has an Orlit, which is rare for posts in this area.
