Cobham is a pleasant village and civil parish in the borough of Elmbridge in Surrey, England, lying on the banks of the River Mole roughly 18 miles south‑west of London. It sits close to the 18th‑century landscape garden at Painshill Park and benefits from good rail and road links, with the local station at Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon serving commuters and quick access to surrounding towns.

Historically it grew around milling and coaching routes and still has a compact High Street of historic buildings, a restored watermill and a mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Today Cobham is known as an affluent commuter community with several country and golf clubs nearby, active local groups and a blend of family neighbourhoods and larger estates, maintaining a village feel despite proximity to centres such as Esher and Weybridge.
