There are three villages in England of the name of Ingham. They are in the counties of:
- Ingham, Lincolnshire - about 15 km north of Lincoln;
- Ingham, Norfolk - near Stalham on the northern edge of the Norfolk Broads, in The Broads National Park;
- Ingham, Suffolk - about 6 km north of Bury St Edmunds.
All three were mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Possible meaning are "homestead or village of a man called Inga" or "home of the Inguiones" (an ancient Germanic tribe).
There is also Ingham, Queensland in Australia.
