Atcham is a village, ecclesiastical parish and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It lies on the B4380 (once the A5), 5 miles south-east of Shrewsbury. The River Severn flows round the village. To the south is the village of Cross Houses and to the north-west the hamlet of Emstrey.
==Local governance== Atcham once belonged and gave its name to Atcham Rural District, before the village merged into the Borough of Shrewsbury in 1974 and came under Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council. From 2009, Shrewsbury and Atcham joined the other districts of non-metropolitan Shropshire under Shropshire Council. The Parliamentary constituency covering the borough remained as Shrewsbury and Atcham until under constituency boundary changes in 2024 it was redesignated as Shrewsbury, dropping the Atcham name. In population (243 in 2001), Atcham was the smallest village to be named in a UK Parliamentary constituency.
