Bushmead is a minor hamlet in Bedfordshire, along a lane leading to Upper Staploe and to Eaton Socon. It is very close to the border with Huntingdonshire, here formed by the Duloe Brook just to the north, and the Great Ouse eastwards beyond Eaton Socon.

The hamlet is the site of the ruined Bushmead Priory, found north of today's houses.
