Rougham is a largely rural ward in the district of West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England, lying close to the market town of Bury St Edmunds. The area is characterised by gently rolling farmland, parkland and hedgerows, with a compact village core and a scattering of small hamlets and lanes that feel typically East Anglian.
The historic country house Rougham Hall and a medieval parish church give the place a strong local identity, and there are traces of 20th‑century military use around a former wartime airfield. Local life revolves around agriculture, small enterprises and community activities such as village fêtes and the village hall, while many residents commute into nearby Bury St Edmunds for work and services.
