Parham is a civil parish in the Horsham District of West Sussex, England. There is now no village of Parham, which was located around the church, its few houses having been destroyed in the early 19th century to create the modern landscaped park and gardens. The parish now constitutes Parham Park and the farms and smaller settlements around it. It is located 3 miles (5km) south of Pulborough on the A283 road.

The parish has a land area of 1586.2 hectares (3918 acres). In the 2001 census 214 people lived in 95 households, of whom 124 were economically active.

The civil parish includes the hamlets of Rackham, southwest of Parham Park, and Wiggonholt on the A283 to the north, which has a small church. Adjoining Wiggonholt is the RSPB's Pulborough Brooks nature reserve.
