Gotham is a small village and civil parish in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, England, situated a few miles south of Nottingham. It sits among rolling farmland and is largely residential with agriculture still visible in the landscape; many people commute into Nottingham and nearby towns. The village retains a compact centre with historic lanes and a parish church dedicated to St Lawrence.
The place is best known for the old folklore of the "Wise Men of Gotham" - tales of feigned folly told to discourage royal attention - a quirky cultural legacy that even helped inspire the name New York's literary nickname. Locally there are several older, listed buildings and a lively community feel, with village events and amenities reflecting its long rural history.
