Ickham is a village, within the civil parish of Ickham and Well, five miles east of Canterbury in Kent, South East England.

The village is centred around a single road with many old and well preserved houses, with the 13th-century Parish Church of St John the Evangelist in the midst. A recent archaeological excavation at Ickham has revealed evidence of Roman metalwork and copper broaches. [ [http://www.canterbury.co.uk/cgi-bin/buildpage.pl?mysql=355 Canterbury City Council] ] The River Little Stour runs past the village, on its way to the English Channel.
