Bodenham is a small village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, lying a few miles east of Leominster on the floodplain of the River Lugg. The low-lying landscape gives a mix of arable farmland and wetland habitats, and former gravel workings nearby have become lakes and informal nature reserves that attract birdwatchers and walkers.

With medieval roots and a long agricultural history, the village retains a strong rural character and an active community centred on a village hall and local events; many residents work on farms or commute to larger towns such as Leominster or Hereford. Its combination of historic buildings, wildlife-rich wetlands and open countryside makes Bodenham a quietly attractive example of rural life in this part of Herefordshire.
