Buckenham is a small village in the civil parish of Strumpshaw, in the Broadland district, Norfolk, England. It is situated on the northern bank of the River Yare, around 7 miles (11 km) south-east of Norwich. In 1931, the parish had a population of 128.

Buckenham's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for 'Bucca's homestead'. On 1 April 1935, the civil parish was abolished and merged with Strumpshaw.

In the Domesday Book, Buckenham is recorded as consisting of 195 households, with the principal landowners being King William, Bury St Edmunds Abbey and William d'Ecouis.

The parish church of St Nicholas is Grade I listed and is currently in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.

The nearby Buckenham Marshes RSPB reserve is a haven for birdwatching, including taiga bean geese, lapwings and wigeons.
