Ham is a tiny hamlet in Kent, within the parish of Northbourne, just inland of Deal. The larger village of Eastry is to the west. The town of Sandwich is to the north.

Ham has become well known not for itself but for a nearby fingerpost which points to both the hamlet and the nearby town, thus reading "Ham Sandwich".
