Norham (
/ˈnɒrəm/ NORR-əm) is a village in Northumberland, England, just south of the River Tweed and the border with Scotland.
It is the site of the 12th century Norham Castle, and was for many years the centre for the Norhamshire exclave of County Durham. It was transferred to Northumberland in 1844.
It was on the Tweed here that Edward I of England met the Scots nobility in 1292 to decide on the future king of Scotland.
Sir Walter Scott gained fame as a poet, particularly with Marmion set around the Battle of Flodden in 1513. It begins:
The 19th century Ladykirk and Norham Bridge is a late stone road bridge that connects the village with Ladykirk in the Scottish Borders.
J. M. W. Turner always tipped his hat to Norham Castle, as it was the place which brought him fame as an artist. The picture of the castle which hangs in Tate Britain, luminously near-abstract, is one of the great treasures of the collection.

The Norham Manor estate is a residential suburb in Oxford, England. It is part of central North Oxford. To the north is Park Town with its crescents, to the east is the River Cherwell, to the south are the University Parks and to the west is Walton Manor, on the other side of Banbury Road.
The architect William Wilkinson laid out the estate in the 1860s on land owned by St John's College, Oxford. The houses are large Victorian villas, many in Italianate and Gothic Revival styles. Wilkinson himself designed several of them, notably in Norham Gardens (built 1860–70). Others were designed by Charles Buckeridge (built 1862–66) and Frederick Codd.
Lady Margaret Hall, one of the University of Oxford's formerly women-only colleges, lies to the west of Norman Manor at the end of Norham Gardens and on the River Cherwell. Further north is the Dragon School, a private preparatory school.
As of 2006, Kellogg College moved to Norham Manor. The college houses its administrative offices at 62 Banbury Road.
