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]

Hereward (later known as Hereward the Wake) owned land in Barholm and the nearby village of Stowe in the period before the Norman Conquest in 1066.

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."
