Furneux Pelham is a small, rural village and civil parish in East Hertfordshire, in the county of Hertfordshire, England. Set among rolling arable fields and hedged lanes, it forms one of the trio of nearby Pelham villages alongside Brent Pelham and Stocking Pelham, and takes its name from the medieval de Furneux family who once held the manor.
The parish retains a distinctly agricultural character with a scattering of historic cottages, a medieval church and village pub serving a close‑knit community, plus a network of public footpaths popular with walkers and birdwatchers. Conservation interests and local events help sustain village life, while the quiet lanes and retained commons give a strong sense of continuity with the area's rural past.
