Southam is a small market town in the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, England. The 2001 census recorded a population of 6,509 in the town.

The nearest sizeable town to Southam is Leamington Spa, located roughly 7 miles (11 km) to the west. The towns of Rugby and Daventry are also within 10 miles (16 km) of Southam, with Banbury 14 miles (22.5 km) to the south and the major city of Coventry some 13 miles (21 km) to the north.

Southam is located on the River Stowe (known by many of the locals as "the Brook"), which flows from Napton-on-the-Hill and joins Warwickshire's River Itchen just outside of the town, which in turn flows into the River Leam.

Southam can trace its history back to Anglo-Saxon times; a charter exists from 998 granted by King Ethelred the Unready. Southam was mentioned in the Domesday Book as "Sucham". A market was established in 1227.

In the 1540s the town was visited by John Leland, who described it as 'a modest market town of a single street'. Southam is also mentioned in Henry VI, part 3 by William Shakespeare in Act V, Scene I (Lines 10–16).
