Barholm /ˈbærəm/^[1] is a village in the civil parish of Barholm and Stowe, in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is 2 miles (3 km) west from the A15 road, and 6 miles (10 km) south from Bourne. In 1921 the parish had a population of 170.^[2]

Barholm is first recorded as "Berc(a)ham" in 1086; the name is from Old English beorg + hām or hamm and means "homestead or enclosure on a hill."^[3]

St Martin's Church is Grade I listed.^[4] The church received a new tower during the English Civil War and an inscription with the date 1648 reads:

"Was ever such a thing
Since the Creation?
A new steeple built
In the time of vexation."
